Fabrizio Romano provides update on Man City interest in ‘amazing’ 22-year-old Bundesliga star

Fabrizio Romano has said that Manchester City have had their eyes on Alphonso Davies for the past two years.

In recent months, it has been suggested that the Canada international will give serious consideration to departing the Allianz Arena.

As it stands, there are just under 19 months remaining on his contract at the Bundesliga giants, a scenario which is likely to lead to Bayern wanting to hold discussions as soon as possible.

However, reports have indicated that the left-sided player has attracted the attention of Real Madrid and is happy to explore a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

His representatives have also hinted in the past that they are aware that Los Blancos are contemplating whether to try to negotiate a deal at the end of 2023-24.

Davies, who has been hailed for his “amazing” performances in the past by Rio Ferdinand, remains very much as a key man at Bayern, already making as many as 18 appearances for Thomas Tuchel’s side this campaign.

Nevertheless, there will be interest should it become apparent that a new challenge is more likely that an extension of his current terms.

That said, according to 90min, Man City and Liverpool, in particular, have been linked with new left-backs of late, while Chelsea are frequently being credited with interest in perceived upgrades to their current crop.

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the situation. Speaking in a recent livestream on his Kick channel, he had this to say about Davies and City’s interest in him.

He said: “I can tell you that Manchester City in the last two years have always been in attendance to keep an eye on Alphonso Davies.

“He’s a player they always appreciated, but as we mentioned before, Real Madrid are pushing and they really want the player.

“Man City have sent their scouts multiple times to see the evolution of Alphonso Davies as one of the best full-backs in the world.”
