Bayern Sporting Director Confident About Alphonso Davies’ Future Amid Barcelona Interest
Bayern Munich’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, remains hopeful about Alphonso Davies’ future at the club despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding his contract. The Canadian left-back’s current deal expires at the end of the season, and although Bayern has made several attempts to extend it, Davies has not yet agreed to a new contract.
Recent reports suggest that Bayern has presented Davies with an improved offer, accompanied by an ultimatum: if he does not agree soon, the club will explore other options. However, Davies has not yet made a decision, leaving the situation unresolved.
Freund, nevertheless, remains optimistic. In a recent media appearance, he expressed confidence that a new deal is still possible, stating, “The confidence is there.” He also emphasized that Davies is a good fit for Bayern’s playing style and is enjoying his time at the club. “I’m positive about how much fun Phonzy is having at the moment. The style of play suits him. We hope things continue this way for a long time,” Freund added.
Although Bayern hopes to finalize negotiations by the end of the year, the lack of a response from Davies and a reportedly strained relationship between Bayern and his agent have raised concerns that talks could break down. This uncertainty has allowed other clubs, such as Barcelona, to express interest in the player. Barcelona’s sporting management has reportedly made inquiries through Davies’ representatives, signaling their desire to sign him.
While Davies has not agreed to terms with any club yet, Barcelona’s interest could become a key factor in the ongoing negotiations, and the situation could develop rapidly in the months ahead.
