Bayern reportedly open to Alphonso Davies exit as Saudi clubs explore deal
German giants reportedly open to left-back exit as club explores financial restructuring

Bayern Munich are reportedly considering the sale of left-back Alphonso Davies to clubs in Saudi Arabia, according to a report by Sport Bild. The potential transfer follows visits by representatives from Saudi Arabian clubs to the German side’s Säbener Straße headquarters, where they explored the conditions for a possible move.

The German club may be motivated to entertain offers for the Canada captain due to his high annual salary, which is estimated at between €15 million and €20 million. While the club is said to be open in principle to selling the player, the situation remains in an exploratory phase with no concrete agreement reached.

Davies’ interest in a move to the Middle East is considered doubtful, particularly following an injury-plagued 2025/26 season. The Canadian international’s recent campaign has been characterised by fitness issues, casting uncertainty over his desire to relocate to a new league at this stage.

In a related development regarding squad composition, Bayern Munich have signed Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt. The acquisition is designed to provide competition at the left-back position, potentially altering the club’s internal dynamics and transfer calculus for the upcoming period.

The report highlights the intersection of financial management and squad planning at one of Europe’s most prominent clubs. While the interest from Saudi Arabia is real, the path to a transfer is complicated by the player’s health history and the club’s recent reinforcement of the position.
