Liverpool are looking to sign Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davis next summer.
Davis is still only 23 years old and has been one of the best left backs in the world for the last three or four years. But with just 18 months left on his contract, he could be on his way out soon.
According to 90min, many clubs in Europe are on standby, including Liverpool. Unfortunately, I don’t think the Reds have much of a chance of signing a Canadian player.
Instead, Liverpool, as well as Manchester City, Chelsea, PSG and Bayern believe Davis is targeting a move to Real Madrid. His current club hasn’t given up yet.
Bayern are still trying to agree a new contract with Davis, but he has shown “little interest” so far.
As a result, teams like Liverpool have been put on notice. But now they “finally believe” that Davis is on his way to the Bernabeu unless something drastic changes.
Liverpool will be hoping for a chance for Davis. If Davis is indeed available next summer, Liverpool should do everything possible to sign him.
Of course, the Reds can still rely on Andy Robertson, a man Davis often challenges for the title of “best left-back in the world”. However, as Robo turns 30 in March, a succession plan may be necessary.
Interestingly, the Canada international turned 23 earlier this month and still has years of growth ahead of him.
If Liverpool can convince him to move to Anfield, it could pave the way for the Robertson era. It would be a huge coup for Liverpool. Fans are already hoping to sign Jurgen Klopp in 2020.
They wanted a player who, at the age of 18, was considered “the fastest player in the Bundesliga” by Bayern’s sporting director at the time, Hasan Salihamidzic [bundesliga.com].
Since then, Fonzie’s reputation has grown. His time at Bayern was a success, winning five domestic titles and one Champions League title.
But it’s easy to imagine how such domestic dominance could affect him, and you can’t blame Davis for looking for a new challenge. The tests are currently expected to take place in Madrid.
But if Liverpool are to have a chance to turn things around, they must.
