The contract negotiations with Alphonso Davies are still dragging on. It recently became clear that Vincent Kompany wants to rely on the Canadian, which is why there were new talks between Davies' side and the club. Staying at FC Bayern is now considered realistic again, but salary remains a key issue.
According to information from tz The Munich team have now been persuaded to improve their offer a little. Although the fixed annual salary will remain at 13 million euros, Davies can also earn up to four million euros in bonus payments per year. This could bring the total salary up to 17 million euros, which would put him not far behind the likes of Thomas Müller and Joshua Kimmich.
The driving force behind the negotiations is currently said to be sporting director Max Eberl, who is doing everything he can to offer Kompany the squad that the new coach wants. Of course, this desire is subject to limits. The Bayern bosses are said to still not be prepared to extend Davies' contract “at any price”. Uli Hoeneß in particular is considered a skeptic in view of the 'Roadrunner's' lack of further development. On the other hand, Eberl has already proven that he can prevail against Hoeneß.
It would be an understandable move by FC Bayern to make Davies' salary partly performance-related. However, the player, who is under contract until 2025, is now obliged to accept the offer or to make it clear that he sees his future at Real Madrid. After all, it is not exactly the most pleasant situation for FC Bayern that the contract drama is dragging on for so long. With Theo Hernandez, the Munich team has identified a clear solution in the event of Davies leaving, but they are unable to act as long as the Canadian's future is not decided.
