Manchester City are now on red alert as Bayern Munich hit a wall in contract talks with Alphonso Davies.
That is according to TEAMtalk.
So, what is the situation involving Alphonso Davies and Manchester City? Let’s take a look…
Manchester City on red alert as Alphonso Davies contract talks stall
Well, we covered a claim from Florian Plettenburg of Sky Germany here on Tuesday – in which it was said that Bayern Munich are currently unwilling to meet the Canadian’s demands, as they feel his performances have been underwhelming of late.
Now – thanks to TEAMtalk – Manchester City’s response to these talks stalling has been disclosed.
It is said that the treble winners are paying close attention to the situation, and would be tempted to make a move for Davies if the price is right.
The Canada international may be available for a cut-price fee as contract discussions hit a wall, with his current terms set to expire in 18 months.
Therefore, the upcoming January window and the summer transfer window may be Bayern Munich’s final chances to sell Davies for a fee, or else he could agree a pre-contract move elsewhere in January 2025 with six months remaining on his deal.
The 2020 UEFA Champions League Defender of the Season has made 21 appearances in all competitions so far this season, providing three assists.
Manchester City have a decision to make
Based on several reports, it seems as if Pep Guardiola has decided to sign a new left-back.
Now, the Spaniard must choose which one he wants.
A story from 90min claimed that Manchester City are keeping a close eye on Chelsea No.29 Ian Maatsen as he enters the final six months of his contract – a fresh report from TEAMtalk even said the west Londoners will look to sell the Dutchman in January after he rejected a new deal.
There have also been strong links to another left-back in Boca Juniors No.19 Valentin Barco.
Therefore, Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain must now decide whether to rival Real Madrid for Davies, or attempt to sign Maatsen or Barco.
Be sure to keep an eye on developments at the Etihad Stadium, as there could be activity in the market this winter.
