Reports: Davies “on verge” of contract extension as Bayern head into crunch talks optimistic

Alphonso Davies is reportedly “on the verge” of extending his contract with Bayern Munich, with crucial talks set to take place this week.

Bayern Munich appear to be closing in on an agreement with Alphonso Davies on a new contract beyond 2025.

According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, the Canadian international is now “on the verge” of signing a long-term extension with the Bavarians.

Both Sky and Bild report that Davies’ agent, Nick Huoseh, is travelling to Munich this week for crucial talks on the left-back’s future, with Bayern bosses optimistic that an agreement can be reached.

Davies was initially reported to be demanding €20 million a year, but the parties could now potentially agree on a deal worth €15 million annually.

According to Sport Bild, Davies’ agent has previously tried to negotiate a release clause of €150 million for his client. It’s possible that this will be discussed again at the upcoming meeting.
