Revealed: Bayern executives haven’t forgiven Davies for his tough salary negotiations | OneFootball

Alphonso Davies appears to be under close scrutiny at FC Bayern. With new signing Nathaniel Brown, the Canadian not only faces stiff competition—according to a media report, some club officials still haven’t forgiven him for the difficult contract negotiations.

The competition for the left-back position at FC Bayern is likely to be more intense next season than it has been in a long time. With Nathaniel Brown, the Munich club has signed one of the most sought-after German defenders and invested around 50 million euros to do so. One thing is clear: a transfer of this magnitude is expected—and must—play a pivotal role.

For Alphonso Davies, this means additional pressure. The Canadian is just returning from injury and will apparently have to fight his way back into the starting lineup. Brown is not only considered a great talent, but he’s also younger and earns significantly less than Davies.

According to information from SPORT1, club officials are closely monitoring Davies’ progress. Internally, they even hope that the new competition will have a positive impact on his performance. A source told the network: “Thank God, the competition here is brutal.”

According to the report, Davies has been viewed critically by club management for some time now. In particular, the disparity between his high salary and his recent performances is said to be a recurring topic of internal discussion. Added to this is the fact that the left-back has been sidelined by injuries time and again in recent years and, as a result, has rarely been consistently available for extended periods.

According to SPORT1, another issue continues to cause discontent at Säbener Straße to this day. The report states that “some executives still haven’t forgiven him for the tough standoff.” This continues to cause friction within the club, it says.

If Davies fails to meet internal expectations again in the coming season, his future at FC Bayern could become a topic of discussion sooner than it was just a few months ago. Recently, reports had already been circulating suggesting that the Munich club would be open to talks if an attractive enough offer were made.

With Brown already in the mix as a top-tier competitor, it’s now up to Davies to dispel any doubts about his performance and permanently reclaim his spot on Vincent Kompany’s team.
