Canada captain Alphonso Davies stays put, re-signs with Bayern Munich

By Canadian Press on February 4, 2025.

Alphonso Davies has re-signed with Bayern Munich, ending a lengthy romance with other big-name clubs reportedly interested in the Canada captain.

The new deal runs through June 30, 2030.

Davies’ existing contract with the German powerhouse expires June 30, prompting transfer talk with the likes of Spanish giant Real Madrid as talks with Bayern dragged on.

The 24-year-old from Edmonton is currently sidelined by a muscle strain in his left hamstring suffered Jan. 22 in a 3-0 Champions League loss at Feyenoord in Rotterdam.

Davies agreed to join Bayern for an MLS record fee in July 2018, finishing out the season with the Vancouver Whitecaps before making the move.

The Canadian fullback has already filled his trophy case at Bayern. He has won five Bundesliga titles (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023), two DFB Cups (2019, 2020), the UEFA Champions League 2020, UEFA Super Cup (2020), DFL Supercup (2020, 2021 and 2022) and FIFA Club World Cup 2020.

He has appeared in 220 games for Bayern across all competitions with 12 goals and 32 assists.
