A string of incredible performances during Bayern’s treble-winning run in 2020 showcased Davies’ true potential as a ball-playing full-back.

Last month, Bayern restarted contract talks with Davies, whose current deal runs until 2025. However, a move to Real Madrid is still the most likely scenario for the Canadian international as the negotiations have stalled again.
According to Marca, Bayern initially set April 1 as the deadline for the player’s representatives to respond to their offer. However, they were publicly criticized by Davies’ agent, who told Bild: “We are being given an ultimatum and are supposed to react within two weeks because the club is under pressure and took a long time to reposition itself in the management? That’s not fair.”
Bayern are expected to receive a formal offer for Davies soon after the summer transfer window opens in June.
