- Bayern are not actively marketing Alphonso Davies and the player wants to stay, Sky Sport reported.
- The Canadian started for Bayern Munich against Paris Saint-Germain in Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg.
- Manchester United interest has been reported, but there is no confirmed bid.
Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies is expected to stay in Germany next season, cooling a fresh round of transfer talk linking the Canada captain with Manchester United and Real Madrid. Foot Africa reported on Tuesday that Davies had decided to continue at Bayern, citing Sky Sport.
The timing matters. Davies was named in Bayern’s starting lineup for Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg away to Paris Saint-Germain, a clear sign he remains part of Vincent Kompany’s immediate plans as Bayern chase another European final.
Sky Sport reported that Davies is not viewed as completely unsellable in Munich, but Bayern are not forcing a sale and currently plan with him for next season. The German outlet also reported that Davies has held no talks with other clubs and has received no offers from top sides.
That stance undercuts claims of an open summer auction. Yalla Shoot reported last week that Bayern would only shift position in the event of an exceptional offer, while Davies’ contract runs until 2030.
A separate CaughtOffside report, citing Fichajes, said Bayern had set a €60 million price for a possible sale and noted Premier League interest. The same report quoted journalist Christian Falk as saying Manchester United were “still monitoring this player,” but that there had been no concrete offer from the English club. CaughtOffside
Bayern’s official position has been stable since February 2025, when Davies signed a deal to June 30, 2030. Max Eberl, Bayern’s board member for sport, said then the club was going “into the future” with Davies, while sporting director Christoph Freund said the player had found his “sporting home in Munich.” FC Bayern
Davies also said at the time he was looking forward to “another five years together.” That contract changed the market around him: a player once discussed as a possible free-transfer target for Real Madrid now carries a long deal and a large wage packet. FC Bayern
Injury history remains the main risk in the file. Reuters reported in March 2025 that Davies suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear, a serious knee injury, while playing for Canada, with Eberl calling the setback “a heavy blow for Bayern.” Reuters
Manchester United’s need at left back gives the story some life, and Real Madrid have been tied to Davies before. But Bayern’s current stance leaves either club needing a major offer, a change in the player’s thinking, or both.
The caveat is simple: transfer windows move quickly. If Bayern receive a fee they regard as exceptional, or if injuries again raise doubts about long-term squad balance, the club could revisit the case. For now, Davies is not being pushed toward the exit.
