Barcelona’s ambition to land Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich remains strong despite their recent financial challenges, according to a report from Jorge Picón.
It is no secret that the club is determined to strengthen its full-back position and Davies is seen as an ideal addition to its team. However, the path to his signing seems to be full of obstacles.
The journalist comments that Barcelona has been in contact with the player’s representatives and they have expressed their intention to make a competitive offer.
However, their financial limitations make it difficult to compete with other clubs in the race. Indeed, his current struggles with Dani Olmo highlight the challenges the club faces in securing top-level talent under current financial constraints.
More than two players in the race.
Meanwhile, other European heavyweights have entered the race for the Canadian defender. Premier League clubs in particular have shown great interest and have already submitted several offers.
While Manchester United appear to have reduced their attention on Davies, teams such as Liverpool and Real Madrid continue to monitor the situation closely. For Liverpool, however, a left-back is not a pressing need at the moment.
Davies’ current contract with Bayern Munich will expire in six months, allowing him to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with other clubs.
Bayern have progressed
Bayern, however, have made significant progress in their renewal negotiations and remain the favorites to retain the player. Real Madrid are also pushing hard to secure his services, adding another layer of competition for Barcelona.
For Barcelona, the pursuit of Davies aligns with their strategy of bolstering the team’s depth in the full-back areas.
While Alejandro Balde has consolidated his position as the starting left back, the club lacks an experienced player.
Davies’ arrival would provide the team with quality and experience, but their chances of landing the player appear slim due to competition from financially stronger clubs.
