Just a year ago, the Bavarians inked Alphonso Davies to a new five-year contract that could potentially pay him upward of €20 million per season if he achieves all of his incentives.

Now, there are internal grumblings at Bayern Munich about the Canadian’s injury history per Sport1 journalist Stefan Kumberger: This latest setback comes at a bad time—for Davies, but also for FC Bayern. Even before the injury, club officials were already looking at his susceptibility to injury with concern. Given his princely salary of an estimated 15 million euros, which can reach up to 20 million with bonuses, the 25-year-old has become too expensive for some club officials.

This grumbling could now grow louder. While the club’s management doesn’t hold his cruciate ligament tear in March 2024 against him, the same can’t be said for his subsequent injuries—professional soccer is a tough and unforgiving business, especially at FC Bayern. It’s no wonder, then, that Davies is no longer considered unsellable ( SPORT1 reported this in mid-April ).

However, should a transfer actually materialize, it could lead both the club and the player into a dead end. Potential suitors are of course aware of the star’s proneness to injury. Furthermore, few clubs are likely to be able to offer a similar salary.
