Bayern are slowly coming to terms with the idea of losing Alphonso Davies because the difference between what they offer him (12,000,000 gross annually) and what the player and agent demand (20,000,000) is too large. The Canadian enters the final year of his contract in June, has long been in contact with Real Madrid, and it’s only a matter of whether Bayern will seize the last chance to sell him for a reasonable price or lose him for free next summer, as was the case with David Alaba. Everything indicates that the Bavarians will not make the same mistake as with Alaba and will agree to take the money while they still can. .@TheoHernandez has 11 goal contributions (3 goals, 8 assists) in 2024 alone. pic.twitter.com/3mK0Dqj5Al— MilanData📊 (@acmilandata) March 18, 2024 However, the price of 70,000,000 euros they have set is unacceptable to Real, and Bayern will have to drastically reduce their financial demands because they are not in a position to dictate terms. The fairy-tale plan to sell Davies for 70,000,000 and replace him with Theo Hernandez for 60,000,000 euros is not quite realistic. Neither will Bayern earn that much from the Canadians nor can they afford the Frenchman from Milan for the mentioned amount.Another piece of the ‘New Galacticos’ puzzle: Davies reaches verbal agreement with Real MadridTheo is having yet another outstanding season in the Rossoneri jersey, and Italian media report that Milan has no intention of letting him go for less than 100,000,000 euros. More precisely, Milan has no intention of letting him go at all; instead, they will try to ward off all interested buyers with that price, among which Bayern has shown the most interest. Not only can Milan not find a worthy replacement at the left-back position, but they also cannot find a player with such influence on the game. Theo means much more to the Rossoneri than just a left-back. This was evident in the last round when he “invented” a goal for the lead against Verona. In his style, he started a slalom from his own half, thundered down the left side, and shook the net. Time and again, he has brought Milan goals after such solo actions. His impact in the attacking phase is rivalled in European football among left-backs only by Alex Grimaldo in Leverkusen.Bayern are ‘laughing’ at the stories about Kimmich and DaviesThis season, Hernandez already has five goals and 10 assists. Last season, he had four goals and five assists; the season before, five goals and 10 assists; in the 2020/21 season, his tally was 8/8, and the year before that, 7/5. This could be the best season in the career of the ultra-offensive full-back. Since the beginning of 2024, he has been involved in 11 Rossoneri goals as a scorer or assistant. His performance in that period is even better than that of forwards like Dusan Vlahovic and Lautaro Martinez. Since joining Serie A, no defender has had such an offensive impact (28 goals and 38 assists). He’s just one goal away from Milan’s absolute record holder and idol who brought him to the club, Paolo Maldini. The legendary captain scored 29 goals for the Rossoneri during his illustrious career.##NAJAVA_MECA_7968448##Maldini persuaded him to come to Milan in the summer of 2019, recognizing in him a top-quality left-back and launching his career, which Real Madrid didn’t believe in. He bought him for just over 22,000,000 euros, and today Theo costs several times more. Or, according to Milan’s calculation, five times more. Given the state of the market, one might say he’s worth it. The Frenchman’s contract runs until the summer of 2026, meaning now is the best time to negotiate an extension. He currently earns 4,000,000 euros net per season at Milan, and it is certain that the club will have to offer him a drastic raise for a new contract. If Bayern offers Davies over 6,000,000 euros net, there is no reason for Milan to offer less to their asset. Especially considering that Alaba at Real will receive around 10,000,000 euros net annually.
