Davies will have just one year left on his contract with Bayern after the 2023-24 season. He has refused to sign a new deal with Bundesliga giants, and it is believed that Real’s interest played a significant part in his decision. Spanish club’s representatives have been in contact with Davies in recent months and have met with the player several times, according to a recent report by The Athletic.

Real is open to engaging in talks with Bayern in order to facilitate a move for Davies this upcoming summer if the German club is ready to accept a transfer fee below the player’s market value. If the two sides are unable to reach an agreement, Real would wait one more year and sign Davies as a free agent.

This wouldn’t be the first time that Real Madrid plucked a player away from Bayern Munich. In 2014, Real managed to land star midfielder Toni Kross on cheap because he had just one year left on his deal. Then, in 2021, Los Blancos snatched world-class defender David Alaba for free after his contract with Bayern expired. 

Davies made 27 appearances in all competitions for Bayern this season and has recorded one goal and three assists. His projected market value, according to Transfer Markt, is €70 million.

While Bayern Munich decided to enter the transfer race in the final stages by offering to pay up front for Drăgusin in full, the defender indicated a preference to join Spurs. One source suggested that Genoa will not have to pay a loan fee for Spence.

Drăgusin reportedly traveled to London on Wednesday in order to complete his medical with Spurs. The club also reportedly has a plane on standby for Spence who is expected to travel to Italy shortly. Spurs are hopeful that Drăgusin’s transfer will be completed in time to use the player in Sunday’s Premier League match against Manchester United.

Bayern’s match got off to a tough start when Joshua Kimmich was shown a red card after he pulled down Marwin Mehlem at the edge of the box, blocking what was a clear goal-scoring opportunity. Their one-man deficit wouldn’t last long, however, as Klaus Gjasula was sent off in the 21st minute when he brought down Konrad Laimer. Four minutes before the break, Darmstadt was down to nine when Matej Maglica fouled Kane, who was about to sprint clear of the defense.

While the teams went into the break goalless, Bayern made the most of their one-man advantage, with Kane scoring a goal from his own half en route to a hat-trick. Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala got two goals each, while Thomas Müller also got on the scoresheet to leap to the top of the table.

Bayern entered their last match in second place, trailing leaders Borussia Dortmund by a single point. They needed to get a win over FC Köln away and have Dortmund lose or draw against Mainz at home. And both things happened.

Winger Kingsley Coman scored a goal in the eighth minute to give Bayern a lead before Dejan Ljubicic made it 1-1 in the 81st minute from a penalty kick. Talented forward Jamal Musiala made it 1-2 for Munich club in the 89th minute, and it proved to be a title-winning score.

Meanwhile, Borussia was trailing 0-2 at the half and didn’t manage to do enough to turn things around. Raphael Guerreiro scored in the 69th, and Niklas Sule scored a goal for the draw in added time, but it wasn’t enough to give Dortmund its first title since 2011–12.

Bayern Munich had to work hard to keep its dominance in the Bundesliga this season, being uncharacteristically sluggish for the better part of the campaign. Sensing a potential crisis, the club parted ways with manager Julian Nagelsmann and brought in Thomas Tuchel as his replacement.

Tuchel had a rough start, which included an unceremonious exit from UEFA Champions League, prompting many to question Bayern’s decision to change managers. However, the former Chelsea boss ended up doing just enough to keep Bayern’s impressive streak going.

Reportedly, Barca sees Kimmich as a perfect replacement for outgoing Sergio Busquets, while Liverpool and Arsenal believe the German international could help them end Manchester City’s dominance in the Premier League. However, they all face a tough time sealing the deal despite the player’s reported wishes for a new challenge.

Soccer insider Fabrizio Romano reported earlier this week that Bayern doesn’t have any intention of letting Kimmich go. They view him as a key player in their project and will reject any offer that comes their way.

Joshua Kimmich joined the Bundesliga giants in a €7 million transfer from VfB Stuttgart in 2015. Since then, he established himself as one of Bayern’s most important players and is currently serving as the third captain behind Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller.

During his time in Munich, Kimmich played 345 games in all competitions and scored 40 goals with 94 assists. He helped Bayern win 19 trophies, including seven Bundesliga titles and UEFA Champions League in 2019-20.

The main reason why Bayern wants to part ways with Mane seems to be his lack of fit in new head coach Thomas Tuchel’s tactical system. Also, the 31-year-old played poorly in 2022-23, scoring only six goals in Bundesliga.

Bayern made it clear that Mane is available, and various big European clubs are expected to be interested. However, Liverpool won’t be one of them, as the Premier League powerhouse is reportedly not interested in a reunion with the Senegal international.

The German club recently got even more motivation to part ways with Sadio Mane after he was involved in a physical altercation with teammate Leroy Sane. The two players clashed in the dressing room after Bayern’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City in UEFA Champions League, with Sane getting a cut lip as a result.

Mane previously spent six seasons with Liverpool, scoring 120 goals for the club and helping it win six trophies, including a Premier League title and a UCL trophy. He also played with Metz, Red Bull Salzburg, and Southampton.

According to Bayern’s official announcement, Tuchel agreed to a deal that runs until the summer of 2025.

Nagelsmann led Bayern to a clean sweep in UEFA Champions League this season, winning all eight games in the competition. However, the club’s form in the domestic league was less satisfactory, with a recent 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen causing them to relinquish the top of the Bundesliga table to their biggest rival Borussia Dortmund.

Reportedly, Bayern’s brass felt an urgency to make a change while they still have a chance to turn things around. The Bavarian powerhouse won 10 consecutive domestic titles leading to this season.

“Personally and on behalf of FC Bayern, I would like to thank Julian and his coaching team and wish everyone the best of luck for the future,” said CEO Oliver Kahn.

“I am very grateful to Julian for what he has done for FC Bayern and I wish him all the best,” sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic added.

According to sources close to the club, Kahn and Salihamidzic initially intended to let Nagelsmann see out the season and bring Tuchel in the summer. However, they were told that the 49-year-old manager wouldn’t wait for Bayern and would take an offer from another club if the opportunity presented itself.

Tuchel last coached in Germany with Borussia, spending two seasons with the club and winning the DFB-Pokal before departing at the end of the 2016-17 season. He then coached Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea,  winning two Ligue 1 titles with PSG and UEFA Champions League trophy with the London club.

Nagelsmann joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2021 after successful spells with Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig. He helped the club continue its title streak in 2021-22 but saw early exits in UCL and the domestic cup.

Despite needing a win to reach the quarterfinals, PSG wasn’t aggressive from the get-go as many expected. As a matter of fact, they had three goals on goal in the first half compared to the six that Bayern had.

The second half saw the French club finally starting to put the pressure on Bayern but couldn’t find an opening. The Bundesliga powerhouse, on the other hand, used the space that was left behind and bagged two goals. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored in the 61st minute, and Serge Gnabry added another one late in regulation.

Bayern’s head coach Julian Nagelsmann said after the game that he didn’t like his team’s first-half performance but believed his team was better and deserved to win.

“In the first half, we didn’t do what we had talked about before very well,” said Nagelsmann. “There was too much space. But we defended better in the second half and were dangerous on the ball. In the end, we deserved to win.

The elimination marks the fifth time in the last seven seasons that PSG failed to advance past the Round of 16 in UCL. For comparison, Bayern only ended the competition in the same phase once during that time span.

Kingsley Coman scored early in the second half, refusing to celebrate out of respect for his former club. This goal proved enough as the visitors managed to shut out the PSG attack, dictating the flow of play throughout the game with 54% possession and 18 shots on goal compared to PSG’s nine.

This is the second time that Coman delivered the finishing blow in a clash between these two clubs. He scored the only goal in the 2020 Champions League final to hand the trophy to Bayern.

“We played really well in the first 25 minutes and the best team on the night won. It’s an important victory but there’s a second leg coming,” coach Julian Nagelsmann commented after the game.

PSG’s attack was bolstered with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in the second half, who returns after picking up a hamstring injury on February 1. Prior to his arrival, PSG resorted to using 16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery, who became the youngest player ever in a Champions League knockout game.

The two sides meet again at the Allianz Arena on March 8.

Bayern beat out Premier League’s Chelsea for de Ligt’s signature and will initially pay €67 million to Juve. Another €10 million might head to Turin based on the add-ons.

“I felt the genuine appreciation from the sporting management, the coach, and the board right from the start, which convinced me,” said de Ligt about his decision to snub Chelsea for Bayern. “On top of that, FC Bayern is a brilliantly run club with big aims. I’m very glad that I’m now becoming part of the FC Bayern story.”

By spending a near-record amount of money on de Ligt, Bayern has continued to spend heavily ahead of the 2022-23 season. The Germans previously also shelled out €41 million to get star forward Sadio Mane from Liverpool while paying €25 million to Ajax for midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.

Matthijs de Ligt previously spent three seasons in Seria A, making 117 appearances and scoring eight goals for Juve. He also helped the club win Seria A and Coppa Italia trophies.
