Fabrizio Romano has downplayed speculations surrounding Bayern Munich’s left-back Alphonso Davies potentially moving to Barcelona this upcoming summer.
With less than 18 months remaining on his contract at Bayern, Davies has yet to secure a new deal, fueling suggestions of a possible departure from Bavaria. While Real Madrid is currently viewed as the frontrunner for his signature, there have been tentative connections to Barcelona, especially amid rumors of Alejandro Balde’s potential exit at the end of the season.
However, transfer guru Romano has cast doubt on these rumors, indicating that Davies is more inclined to join Barcelona’s archrivals, Real Madrid.
Providing insights on his YouTube channel, Romano shed light on the situation, emphasizing the significance of Davies’ salary negotiations. He highlighted the lack of concrete evidence suggesting Barcelona’s pursuit of Davies, citing potential complications with Financial Fair Play regulations due to his high wage demands.
Romano stressed the ongoing presence of Real Madrid in the picture, contrasting the quietness surrounding Barcelona’s interest. He also pointed out Bayern’s efforts to extend Davies’ contract before the season concludes, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the player’s future.
Davies, who has featured in 27 matches for Bayern this season, contributing one goal and three assists, remains a player of interest in the transfer market with his contractual situation yet to be resolved.
