Madrid tracked Davies for monthsBayern offer Canadian superior dealDefender expected to extend stayGettyWHAT HAPPENED?
The Spanish giants have been tracking the 23-year-old for months now in an effort to sign him this summer. With the left-back's contract at Bayern expiring in 2025, multiple clubs are keeping tabs on him but it seems the German side may keep him after all. The Athletic's David Ornstein claims the Bundesliga outfit's offer is 'superior' and unless that changes the expectation is Davies will renew.

Davies was born to Liberian parents in a refugee camp in Ghana and is the fourth youngest of six siblings. His family fled during the Second Liberian Civil War and in 2005 they emigrated to Canada. At the age of 14, Davies relocated to Vancouver to join the Whitecaps FC Residency program and in January 2019 he signed for the mighty Bayern, where he has since flourished.
WHAT NEXT?
Off the pitch, the January transfer window shuts in a week's time, meaning teams don't have much time to sign the Canadian international. On the pitch, Davies is set to be back in action for Bayern on Saturday away to Augsburg in Bundesliga action.
