Liverpool are closely eyeing Alphonso Davies, the talented Bayern Munich fullback, as his contract edges towards expiration in 2025, putting major European clubs on alert.
With Andy Robertson sidelined due to a shoulder injury until 2024, Kostas Tsimikas has stepped in but hasn’t been entirely convincing in Robertson’s absence.
Clubs in pursuit
The club is evaluating their options at left-back, considering Robertson’s age at 29 and the need for a long-term solution.
Latest reports indicate that Liverpool, along with Real Madrid and Manchester City, have shown interest in Davies, whose contract situation has Bayern Munich considering a potential sale to avoid losing him for free.
Alphonso Davies valuation
Valued at €70 million (as per Transfermarkt.com) and originally bought for €14 million, Davies, despite his young age of 23, boasts significant experience and a trophy-laden career, having won major titles in Germany, including the Champions League.
Bayern might offer Davies a new contract, but if negotiations fail, they might be open to selling him next summer.
Despite his recent injury and a solid but not exceptional season in the Bundesliga, Liverpool sees potential in Davies, considering his track record and the opportunity for him to prove himself in the Premier League.
While it appears to be a logical move for Liverpool, Bayern will likely fight to retain him, given his instrumental role in their recent successes.
The prospect of Davies joining Liverpool, potentially filling Robertson’s boots, winning more trophies, and making an impact in the Premier League is enticing.
However, with uncertainties surrounding contract negotiations and Liverpool’s need to secure Champions League qualification, the full picture of this potential transfer is yet to fully unfold.
