Alphonso Davies, regarded as a top-tier defender by many, has made a name for himself in the world of football over the years, establishing both his value and abilities. However, as his contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire at the end of this season's break, it has become apparent that Davies finds himself in an awkward situation.
Seeking a substantial pay raise, he began pressuring Bayern Munich, initially spreading word multiple times about his desire to join Real Madrid to fulfill his dreams. However, what followed was unexpected; after a year of public speculation about joining Real Madrid, Davies' true intentions were finally revealed. According to German media reports, Davies is set to renew his contract with Bayern.
The reason is straightforward: Bayern can offer him a top-tier contract, whereas Real Madrid cannot afford such a high salary. Consequently, Davies is willing to extend his stay with Bayern. This revelation makes it clear that Davies' so-called "dream of joining the royal family" was merely a pretense. He merely expressed a desire to move to Real Madrid publicly to secure a lucrative contract. Now, his true intentions have been fully exposed, and Real Madrid indeed could not match the salary demands of the 24-year-old player at the peak of his career, ultimately having to let him go.
However, Davies' contract renewal also poses significant pressure on Bayern Munich. With the team's performance declining and its influence waning, top players are less inclined to join the Bundesliga giants. To retain Davies and upcoming talent like Jamal Musiala, Bayern will have to make considerable sacrifices in terms of wages to ensure their squad remains competitive.
