Bayern Munich willing to listen to Alphonso Davies offers This season, Luke Shaw has been omnipresent in Man Utd’s starting lineup, whether under Ruben Amorim or Michael Carrick, while the departing Tyrell Malacia has been reduced to an afterthought. However, the 30-year-old will need some backup next season with European nights expected to return to Old Trafford. Therefore, United are examining several profiles to bolster the left-back role, and have recently rekindled their interest in Davies .
According to trusted German journalist Christian Falk, Man Utd have yet to make a concrete move for the 25-year-old, but he believes there could be an opportunity down the road, as Bayern Munich are willing to discuss a deal due to the player’s hefty salary and injury record. “It is not true that Manchester United have held talks over signing Alphonso Davies this summer. This hasn’t been confirmed as of yet,” wrote the transfer market expert in his latest column for CF Bayern Insider.
“I know Bayern Munich would be open to discussing a deal, on the condition that it was a good deal for the club. That’s because Davies has a really good salary (around €20m) and he’s often injured. Nevertheless, Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany is a keen admirer of Davies, so Falk expects the former Manchester City captain to fight to keep the Canadian at the Allianz Arena.
