Manchester United are reportedly leading a host of European heavyweights in the race to sign Alphonso Davies, but Bayern München have set the bar high. The asking price is said to sit between €60 million and €65 million, while Davies remains tied to the club until June 2030.
Bayern's leverage
That contract gives Bayern room to hold their line. The club renewed Davies in early 2025, and the latest reporting suggests they could be tempted to start serious talks only if an offer of around €50 million arrives, still below the asking range.
Fussball News described Manchester United as having the “most concrete interest” in Davies, while the same reporting also says Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are on the radar. In other words, United may be ahead in the chase, but they are not alone.
Davies and Bayern's stance
Davies is not being priced like a player on the fringes. He has 4 Bundesliga appearances, 272 minutes and 2 goal contributions this season, and a 7.69 rating in the league. He also supplied 2 assists in Bayern's 7-0 win over Union Berlin, which is another reminder that Bayern are dealing with an active first-team left-back, not a spare part.
The fee talk varies a little in the reporting, with some figures quoted in pounds and others in euros, but the central point does not change. Bayern are asking for a premium, and the contract running to June 2030 means they can keep doing it.
United's interest is serious, but this looks like a deal that will only move if someone is willing to test Bayern at the top end of the market before the window heats up further.
