Vincent Kompany has made a good start as Bayern Munich coach. But in the coming weeks, he and his men will face a very tough schedule. In the meantime, speculation about the departure of several players is rife.
Bayern got off to a flying start under their Belgian coach. The Rekordmeister won the cup match against second-tier club Ulm by a resounding 4-0 score. They then went on to make a perfect 9 out of 9 record in the Bundesliga and this week secured a 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.
While the on-field play can still be improved, the results are extremely encouraging. It can’t be otherwise with such a talented squad. Kompany has also benefited from solid acquisitions in the summer transfer window with Michael Olise, Hiroki Ito and Joao Palhinha.
Davies on the way out
In the next transfer periods, this list will probably grow even longer. But Bayern also risks losing a number of players. Guys like Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sané, Manuel Neuer, … have entered their last year of contract. The sporting management will therefore have to sit down with them to avoid a departure without a transfer.
But in one case, Bayern seems to be in a very bad position. According to Relevo, discussions with Davies and his entourage are practically non-existent at the moment. The club’s management has already made offers to the Canadian full-back during the summer, but they have been systematically described as insufficient.
Real Madrid on the lookout
Since then, the case has not progressed. Bayern would therefore quietly give up on extending Davies’ stay. Excellent news for Real Madrid, who are observing the situation from afar. Real are considered the favorites to bring in the Canadian free of any transfer. With Ferland Mendy, the Spanish champions already have a left-back worthy of the name. However, the source mentioned above claims that the intention is to associate the Frenchman with Davies.
