Rejecting offers from elite clubs in England and Spain, Canada captain Alphonso Davies has signed a new deal that will keep him at Bayern Munich through June 30, 2030.

Nick Huoseh, DaviesB次元官网网址� longtime adviser, said the 24-year-old from Edmonton looked at the alternatives and decided he had a good thing with Bayern.

B次元官网网址淔or him, itB次元官网网址檚 easy to move to other clubs. But does it always work out? Not always B次元官网网址� He thought B次元官网网址榊ou know what? IB次元官网网址檓 enjoying it here. IB次元官网网址檓 really liking the coach. A great group of players. The clubB次元官网网址檚 been good. The medical teamB次元官网网址檚 been amazing,B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� said Huoseh.

B次元官网网址淭here were a lot of factors,B次元官网网址� he added.

Satisfaction at life under manager Vincent Kompany and the financial terms offered were two major factors in DaviesB次元官网网址� decision to remain with the German powerhouse.

Huoseh said Davies B次元官网网址� currently sidelined by a muscle strain in his left hamstring B次元官网网址� has flourished under Kompany, who was appointed Bayern boss last May.

B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 playing great football right now. His stats are very, very good. And the system theyB次元官网网址檙e playing, the way theyB次元官网网址檙e playing, heB次元官网网址檚 been rejuvenated,B次元官网网址� Huoseh said from Munich. B次元官网网址淚t was a little bit more challenging with the previous managers, the two previous ones (Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann).B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淭he system changed under the last two coaches B次元官网网址� great coaches, but they didnB次元官网网址檛 utilize him in that same similar way,B次元官网网址� he added.

They wanted a more defensive game from Davies, who likes to use his electric pace to attack from left back.

Kompany has involved Davies more in the attack. B次元官网网址淭hat was a big point,B次元官网网址� Huoseh said.

DaviesB次元官网网址� existing contract with the German powerhouse was to expire June 30, prompting transfer talk with the likes of Spanish giant Real Madrid as negotiations with Bayern dragged on.

Huoseh said talks mainly centred on four or five other clubs in Spain and England.

B次元官网网址淐ome January we had discussions with other teams that had reached out and had shown a lot of interest,B次元官网网址� Huoseh said. B次元官网网址淭here was only a handful of clubs. ItB次元官网网址檚 not like there were 20, 30 clubs because realistically heB次元官网网址檚 already playing for (one of the) probably top-three or four biggest clubs in the world. So thereB次元官网网址檚 only a handful he can go to.B次元官网网址�

On Tuesday, Bayern ended the chit-chat.

B次元官网网址淎lphonso Davies has become one of the best players in the world in his position at Bayern and has attracted a lot of interest,B次元官网网址� Bayern sporting director Christopher Freund said in a statement. B次元官网网址淭he fact he wants to continue here with us shows BayernB次元官网网址檚 status in international football and that Alphonso has found his sporting home in Munich.B次元官网网址�

Davies said he was very happy to extend his stay B次元官网网址榓t this great club.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚 came to FC Bayern when I was 18 and just wanted to learn as much as possible every day to become one of the best in my position. Now IB次元官网网址檓 looking forward to another five years together,B次元官网网址� he said in a statement. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e already achieved a lot here, but thereB次元官网网址檚 more to come.B次元官网网址�

Huoseh said the two sides had a contract agreement back in May 2023 only to see a turnover in the Bayern management team. When talks resumed, the club had a B次元官网网址渄ifferent directionB次元官网网址� when it came to contracts, Huoseh said.

But they eventually concluded a deal that worked for both.

Davies is B次元官网网址渄efinitely comfortableB次元官网网址� with the terms of the new deal, Huoseh said.

B次元官网网址淚t took a little bit of time to get to these terms. But Bayern Munich stepped up to the plate and recognized his worth. ItB次元官网网址檚 not easy to find his profile. IB次元官网网址檓 not sure how many (comparable) players are out there but a replacement would be very costly.B次元官网网址�

The terms of the deal were not released by the club or the player.

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.

Davies 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.

Davies has been named Canada Soccer Player of the Year four times (2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022) and CONCACAF Player of the Year twice (2021 and 2022),

He has won 56 caps for Canada with 16 goals and was a member of CanadaB次元官网网址檚 team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he scored CanadaB次元官网网址檚 first-ever goal at the menB次元官网网址檚 soccer showcase in a 4-1 loss to Croatia.

Born in a refugee camp in Ghana to parents who had fled the civil war in Liberia, Davies came to Canada when he was five. And he turned heads playing soccer in Edmonton.

In July 2016, a 15-year-old Davies signed a homegrown player contract with the Whitecaps, becoming the third-youngest in history to sign an MLS deal. Two years later, the Whitecaps agreed to sell Davies to Bayern Munich in a then-record MLS deal, worth possibly in excess of US$22 million.

Davies made his German league debut in January 2019, coming on as a late substitute in his teamB次元官网网址檚 4-1 win at home to VfB Stuttgart, and was named Bundesliga Rookie of the Season for 2019-20.

His speed down the flank soon had teammates comparing him to a cartoon character.

The left back was clocked at 35.3 km/h in a 2020 win over Borussia Dortmund.

B次元官网网址淎lphonso is a player with a lot of heart and a lot of power, with extreme power,B次元官网网址� Bayern forward Thomas Muller said at the time. B次元官网网址淪ometimes maybe he is not in the best position on the field, but he gets the opponent thinking, B次元官网网址極h, I have time, I have time,B次元官网网址� and then, B次元官网网址楳eep, meep. Meep, meep.B次元官网网址� The Road Runner, the FC Bayern Road Runner, comes and steals the ball.B次元官网网址�

Davies was just 16 when he made his senior debut for Canada in June 2017 against Cura莽ao, becoming the youngest menB次元官网网址檚 player in Canadian team history. He had obtained his Canadian citizenship the week before.
