Liverpool & Man Utd given Alphonso Davies transfer boost as Bayern clarify exit stance | OneFootball

Bayern Munich could be tempted into selling Alphonso Davies this summer if a big offer arrives.

This comes amid reports of interest from Manchester United, with the player alleged to have also been offered to reigning Premier League champions Liverpool.

The Canadian international is currently sidelined with injury, having picked up yet another muscular issue during the first leg of FC Bayern’s Champions League clash with Atalanta.

Bayern could sell Alphonso Davies to the Premier League

It’s worth emphasising that decision-makers at the Allianz Arena are not prepared to simply cut their losses on Davies.

Any consideration of departure will have to be aided by the appearance of a sizeable transfer fee – potentially likely coming from the English top-flight.

“It’s a very interesting rumour suggesting Alphonso Davies was offered to Liverpool by intermediaries,” Christian Falk exclusively informed CF Bayern Insider.

“It’s true that there are thoughts within Bayern, as the Canadian has picked up yet another injury, that if a big offer is on the table, perhaps they would sell him. Before, it was clear that FC Bayern needed this player; he’s one of the best in the team. Now, however, they’re thinking that they could perhaps replace him if there’s a lot of money on the table, because his salary is pretty high.

“His agent held difficult talks with the club when Alphonso was signing. He hasn’t done anything to dispel these rumours. He’s quiet on the situation. So, I have a growing suspicion with regard to this subject!”

The Red Devils are understood to be keen admirers of the fullback. That’s thanks in no small part to Luke Shaw (30) being an ageing star and Tyrell Malacia apparently considered unfit to hold down a spot in the starting-XI.

Patrick Dorgu (21) is, without question, considered the leading candidate for a spot in the starting-XI, though also finds himself secluded to the physio room with injury.

Could Liverpool replace Andy Robertson with Davies?

It won’t have escaped anyone’s notice at Anfield that 32-year-old Andy Robertson’s contract is set to expire this summer.

Liverpool are more than pleased with the current efforts of his successor, former Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, of course.

However, the Scot’s departure would see the Liverpool dressing room bereft of an experienced figure.

Perhaps a move for Alphonso Davies would go some way to plugging that gap, on the proviso that the Canadian operates as a rotational option for Kerkez in the Liverpool defence.

Whether the Merseysiders would be prepared to fork out a significant fee for a backup player remains up for debate.

One might reasonably suspect that Arne Slot’s side would much prefer to invest their funds in critical areas like both wings this summer.
