Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich’s versatile defender, is at the center of a contract dispute with his club. Negotiations for a contract extension have reached an impasse, with Davies’ agent, Nedal Huoseh, criticizing Bayern’s approach.
The crux of the issue appears to be a recent ultimatum issued by Bayern. Huoseh claims the club wants Davies to decide on a new contract within the next two weeks. This timeframe has left the agent frustrated, particularly considering the previous attempts to reach an agreement.
According to Huoseh, negotiations were progressing well a year ago. However, a change in Bayern’s management team resulted in a communication breakdown. Huoseh alleges that for seven months, there was no contact from the club despite his efforts to reach out.

Now, with the pressure mounting for Bayern to secure Davies’ future, Huoseh feels the current ultimatum is unfair. He argues that such a significant decision for Davies’ career shouldn’t be rushed, especially considering the lack of clarity on several key factors.
“It’s a very important contract in Alphonso’s career and we’re supposed to make the decision without knowing who the coach will be next season or what the team looks like,” stated Huoseh.
This lack of clarity extends beyond the coaching position. Bayern is currently undergoing a period of transition, and the future direction of the team remains somewhat uncertain. Davies, a key player for Bayern, would likely want to understand the club’s vision before committing his long-term future.
Adding fuel to the fire are rumors linking Davies with a move to Real Madrid. Should Davies decide against signing a new contract with Bayern, he would enter the final year of his current deal, making him a potential transfer target for other clubs in the summer of 2025.
