Rejecting offers from elite clubs in England and Spain, Canada captain Alphonso Davies has signed a new deal that will keep him at Bayern Munich through June 30, 2030.

Nick Huoseh, Davies香蕉视频直播� longtime adviser, said the 24-year-old from Edmonton looked at the alternatives and decided he had a good thing with Bayern.

香蕉视频直播淔or him, it香蕉视频直播檚 easy to move to other clubs. But does it always work out? Not always 香蕉视频直播� He thought 香蕉视频直播榊ou know what? I香蕉视频直播檓 enjoying it here. I香蕉视频直播檓 really liking the coach. A great group of players. The club香蕉视频直播檚 been good. The medical team香蕉视频直播檚 been amazing,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈�� said Huoseh.

香蕉视频直播淭here were a lot of factors,香蕉视频直播� he added.

Satisfaction at life under manager Vincent Kompany and the financial terms offered were two major factors in Davies香蕉视频直播� decision to remain with the German powerhouse.

Huoseh said Davies 香蕉视频直播� currently sidelined by a muscle strain in his left hamstring 香蕉视频直播� has flourished under Kompany, who was appointed Bayern boss last May.

香蕉视频直播淗e香蕉视频直播檚 playing great football right now. His stats are very, very good. And the system they香蕉视频直播檙e playing, the way they香蕉视频直播檙e playing, he香蕉视频直播檚 been rejuvenated,香蕉视频直播� Huoseh said from Munich. 香蕉视频直播淚t was a little bit more challenging with the previous managers, the two previous ones (Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann).香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭he system changed under the last two coaches 香蕉视频直播� great coaches, but they didn香蕉视频直播檛 utilize him in that same similar way,香蕉视频直播� he added.

They wanted a more defensive game from Davies, who likes to use his electric pace to attack from left back.

Kompany has involved Davies more in the attack. 香蕉视频直播淭hat was a big point,香蕉视频直播� Huoseh said.

Davies香蕉视频直播� existing contract with the German powerhouse was to expire June 30, prompting transfer talk with the likes of Spanish giant Real Madrid as negotiations with Bayern dragged on.

Huoseh said talks mainly centred on four or five other clubs in Spain and England.

香蕉视频直播淐ome January we had discussions with other teams that had reached out and had shown a lot of interest,香蕉视频直播� Huoseh said. 香蕉视频直播淭here was only a handful of clubs. It香蕉视频直播檚 not like there were 20, 30 clubs because realistically he香蕉视频直播檚 already playing for (one of the) probably top-three or four biggest clubs in the world. So there香蕉视频直播檚 only a handful he can go to.香蕉视频直播�

On Tuesday, Bayern ended the chit-chat.

香蕉视频直播淎lphonso Davies has become one of the best players in the world in his position at Bayern and has attracted a lot of interest,香蕉视频直播� Bayern sporting director Christopher Freund said in a statement. 香蕉视频直播淭he fact he wants to continue here with us shows Bayern香蕉视频直播檚 status in international football and that Alphonso has found his sporting home in Munich.香蕉视频直播�

Davies said he was very happy to extend his stay 香蕉视频直播榓t this great club.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚 came to FC Bayern when I was 18 and just wanted to learn as much as possible every day to become one of the best in my position. Now I香蕉视频直播檓 looking forward to another five years together,香蕉视频直播� he said in a statement. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e already achieved a lot here, but there香蕉视频直播檚 more to come.香蕉视频直播�

Huoseh said the two sides had a contract agreement back in May 2023 only to see a turnover in the Bayern management team. When talks resumed, the club had a 香蕉视频直播渄ifferent direction香蕉视频直播� when it came to contracts, Huoseh said.

But they eventually concluded a deal that worked for both.

Davies is 香蕉视频直播渄efinitely comfortable香蕉视频直播� with the terms of the new deal, Huoseh said.

香蕉视频直播淚t took a little bit of time to get to these terms. But Bayern Munich stepped up to the plate and recognized his worth. It香蕉视频直播檚 not easy to find his profile. I香蕉视频直播檓 not sure how many (comparable) players are out there but a replacement would be very costly.香蕉视频直播�

The terms of the deal were not released by the club or the player.

Davies agreed to join Bayern for an MLS record fee in July 2018, finishing out the season with the Vancouver Whitecaps before making the move.

Davies has already filled his trophy case at Bayern. He has won five Bundesliga titles (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023), two DFB Cups (2019, 2020), the UEFA Champions League 2020, UEFA Super Cup(2020), DFL Supercup (2020, 2021 and 2022) and FIFA Club World Cup 2020.

He has appeared in 220 games for Bayern across all competitions with 12 goals and 32 assists.

Davies has been named Canada Soccer Player of the Year four times (2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022) and CONCACAF Player of the Year twice (2021 and 2022),

He has won 56 caps for Canada with 16 goals and was a member of Canada香蕉视频直播檚 team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he scored Canada香蕉视频直播檚 first-ever goal at the men香蕉视频直播檚 soccer showcase in a 4-1 loss to Croatia.

Born in a refugee camp in Ghana to parents who had fled the civil war in Liberia, Davies came to Canada when he was five. And he turned heads playing soccer in Edmonton.

In July 2016, a 15-year-old Davies signed a homegrown player contract with the Whitecaps, becoming the third-youngest in history to sign an MLS deal. Two years later, the Whitecaps agreed to sell Davies to Bayern Munich in a then-record MLS deal, worth possibly in excess of US$22 million.

Davies made his German league debut in January 2019, coming on as a late substitute in his team香蕉视频直播檚 4-1 win at home to VfB Stuttgart, and was named Bundesliga Rookie of the Season for 2019-20.

His speed down the flank soon had teammates comparing him to a cartoon character.

The left back was clocked at 35.3 km/h in a 2020 win over Borussia Dortmund.

香蕉视频直播淎lphonso is a player with a lot of heart and a lot of power, with extreme power,香蕉视频直播� Bayern forward Thomas Muller said at the time. 香蕉视频直播淪ometimes maybe he is not in the best position on the field, but he gets the opponent thinking, 香蕉视频直播極h, I have time, I have time,香蕉视频直播� and then, 香蕉视频直播楳eep, meep. Meep, meep.香蕉视频直播� The Road Runner, the FC Bayern Road Runner, comes and steals the ball.香蕉视频直播�

Davies was just 16 when he made his senior debut for Canada in June 2017 against Cura莽ao, becoming the youngest men香蕉视频直播檚 player in Canadian team history. He had obtained his Canadian citizenship the week before.
