Fresh details of apparent tensions in contract talks between the camp of Alphonso Davies and Bayern Munich have emerged, even as he continues to be linked to Manchester United.
Davies is entering the final six months of his current contract, making him a potential bargain for Real Madrid, who have had their eye on the Canada international for some time. However, United have joined the race of his signature.
A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that new United head coach Ruben Amorim is keen on having the player join his ranks.
It was thought that United were close to landing Davies but in a sensational twist, Sky Germany revealed that the Canada international and Bayern were close to reaching an agreement over fresh terms, after the player made some important concessions with regard to his wage demands.
This was re-affirmed by Bayern Sporting Director, Christoph Freund who stated that the Bundesliga giants are positive about their prospects of keeping Davies beyond the summer of 2025.
On Thursday, BILD journalist Christian Falk divulged that United have requested a January meeting with Davies and his representatives, presumably to try and convince him to seal a blockbuster switch to Old Trafford.
Falk has now given an update on the situation, indicating that there are some tensions between Davies’ camp and Bayern, which are threatening to break down negotiations.
Falk wrote on X, “The Agent of Alphonso Davies (24), Nick Househ, is angry about the way the negotiations are being conducted by FC Bayern.”
“Househ had canceled a planned trip to Munich.”
“The talks were held via video session. However, Max Eberl did not participate. This surprised the Davies-Part.”
“The Agent of Davies now wants to listen to the offers from Manchester United and Real Madrid, meetings are planned for January.”

If this uncertain situation persists, it may very well work in United’s favour, as they bid to bring in Davies. It’s certainly one for fans to keep a close eye on.
