Davies injury causes problems: Bayern fight for million-euro payout | OneFootball

After his injury, Alphonso Davies has become a topic at FC Bayern not only in terms of sports but also contractually. As revealed by the BILD podcast "Bayern Insider," there are disagreements between the club and management regarding salary continuation—and it's about millions.

The Canadian left-back signed his new contract with the German record champions at the beginning of the year, suffered a cruciate ligament tear a few weeks later, and has been sidelined due to injury ever since.

BILD football chief Christian Falk explains: "Davies signed his new contract in February 2025 and then got injured in March. The contract was valid from July 1st—and now the big question was about salary continuation."

Legal Gap Between Two Contracts

The problem: According to the law, the old contract only covered six weeks of continued payment. The new, long-term contract includes an extended arrangement—but between these periods, a legal gray area emerged, which has now become a dispute between the club and the player's agent.

"The agent knocked on Bayern's door to see how best to handle this," Falk continues. A final solution has not yet been reached.

Since Davies is among the top earners at FC Bayern—his annual salary is nearly 17 million euros—this issue involves a high seven-figure sum.

Bayern Strives for Amicable Solution

According to BILD information from Munich, the club wants to find a pragmatic and fair solution to avoid jeopardizing the good relationship with the player. Davies remains a central part of Bayern's future planning.

However, Bayern continues to pursue a strict cost-saving policy. The Davies case exemplifies how complex contract structures have become in modern professional football.
