The hottest topic in football recently is the contract renewal drama between Bayern Munich and Alphonso Davies. As we all know, Davies is about to enter a contract year, but the contract renewal negotiations with Bayern have been full of twists and turns. I thought everything was going well, but it turned out to be an unexpected stalemate. Alphonso Davies' offer is simply jaw-dropping, and he asks for an annual salary of 13 million euros after tax, which is much higher than his current 11.25 million euros.
I have to say, this Canadian guy has a really big appetite! With such a salary level, Bayern can be ranked in the first echelon. But Bayern clearly don't intend to compromise so easily. Once the team agrees to Davis' request, won't the other players also have to pay raises? This is definitely a big challenge for the team's financial management.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is interested in Davies, but it is also a little hesitant in the face of such a salary request. According to a report by the Spanish media "DC", the maximum salary that Real Madrid is willing to give is 19.5 million euros, which is the same as Alaba. But let's not forget that Alaba joins for free, while Davis still has to pay a transfer fee. In this way, Real Madrid's cost is not low.
Obviously, Davis's agent team is playing a high-pressure strategy, and by constantly putting pressure on him, he wants to get a higher salary for Davis. But it didn't seem to work, and neither Bayern nor Real Madrid had any intention of following their pace. Bayern even said that if they can't get along, they would rather choose to cash out. Real Madrid, on the other hand, have also begun to turn their attention to other players, such as Grimaldo. The Bayer Leverkusen star has been in excellent form this season, with stats comparable to that of a striker, and his value and salary are much more affordable than Davies.
It seems that neither Bayern nor Real Madrid intend to "consume death" on Davies. In such a situation, Davis's dream of a high salary may only be considered by Paris Saint-Germain. But then again, Davis is only 23 years old, and if he is given such a high salary now, wouldn't it be even higher to renew his contract in five years? Such a salary requirement is a big burden for any club.
As an ordinary football fan, seeing such a situation, it is inevitable that there will be some sighs in my heart. The salaries of the stars are skyrocketing, and the business operations behind them are becoming more and more complex. But in any case, the charm of football itself will not change. We still stay in front of the TV every weekend and cheer on our favorite teams and stars. Hopefully, Davis can find his place and continue to show his charm on the green field.
