Bayern's Davies signs deal amid Madrid interest

Alphonso Davies has agreed a new contract at Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga club announced on Tuesday, bringing an end to Real Madrid‘s long-term pursuit of the player.

Davies’ deal with the Bavarian giants runs through the end of the 2029-30 season and would see his stay there reach 11 years should he play out the contract.

“I am very happy to have extended my contract at this great club,” Davies said in a news release.

“I came to FC Bayern when I was 18 and just wanted to learn as much as possible every day to become one of the best in my position. Now I’m looking forward to another five years together. I’ve already achieved a lot here, but there’s more to come.”

He joined Bayern from Vancouver Whitecaps in 2019 and has since become one of the most highly rated left-sided players in world football.

Madrid have been looking to improve their options at left-back, with doubts over their two existing options, Ferland Mendy and Fran García.

The LaLiga giants have made a habit of signing elite players on free transfers in recent seasons, including Kylian Mbappé in 2024, Antonio Rüdiger in 2022 and David Alaba in 2021.
