Manchester United is reportedly preparing a January meeting with Alphonso Davies to discuss a potential move to Old Trafford.
The Canadian full-back, whose contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season, has yet to agree to new terms with the Bundesliga giants.
Real Madrid, previously linked with Davies, has shifted its focus to addressing defensive injuries, leaving United with a prime opportunity to swoop in.
Reports suggest United are eager to meet the player’s wage demands of £15m annually and a £14m signing bonus, a price they see as reasonable given Davies’ estimated £70m market value.
Bayern Munich’s Wage Standoff
Bayern Munich is reluctant to meet Davies’ financial expectations, which has left the door open for interested clubs.
The left-back, a pivotal figure in Bayern’s setup, would perfectly suit Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, providing a dynamic option on the left flank.
With Luke Shaw sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Davies could fill a crucial gap, complementing United’s current rotation of Tyrell Malacia and Diogo Dalot in the left wing-back position.
Real Madrid Focus Shifts, Boosting United’s Chances
While Real Madrid was once a strong contender for Davies, their priorities have shifted toward strengthening their right-back and center-back positions due to injuries to Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao.
This development has given Manchester United a clearer path to securing the Canadian international’s services.
As January approaches, the Red Devils are determined to capitalize on this unique opportunity and potentially secure one of the top-rated left-backs in world football on a free transfer.
