      The 22-year-old has become one of the best young left-backs in football.
      Davies burst onto the scene in the MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps before his record-breaking transfer to Bayern Munich in 2018.
      Within a year the Candian had established himself as a first-team regular and has progressed to be among the world’s top left-backs – known for his blistering pace, dribbling and crossing ability.
      He has had a remarkable start for the Bundesliga side scoring eight goals in 156 appearances.

      Davies has also picked up some silverware along the way winning five Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2020.
      He scored Canada’s first World Cup goal ever at Qatar 2022, putting his penalty miss disappointment behind him from the first match to head in against Croatia.
      The left-back’s success has led to transfer attention and Spanish outlet Marca claim Davies has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
      Ancelotti is on the hunt to bolster his defence as Ferland Mendy’s calf injury means his future at the club is uncertain, the report claims.

      However, it is believed Real Madrid will wait until summer 2024 to try and sign the full-back.
      Davies previously revealed he struggles with loneliness in Germany meaning a move to the Spanish capital could be something that appeals to the star.
      Davies’s contract with the Bavarian side does not come to an end until June 2025.
      Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel may be reluctant to let his star player go.
      But if Davies does depart next summer he would join new Real Madrid youngsters Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham. More

      Bayern Munich AXE Sadio Mane’s childhood friend just weeks after his own Saudi transfer exit

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH have confirmed the exit of Sadio Mane’s childhood friend jut a matter of weeks after Mane left for Saudi Arabia. Mane’s time at Bayern was not what most expected it to be and the club has now completely washed their hands of his impact after they also axed his childhood friend this week.

      The former Liverpool star is said to have played a big part in Bayern Munich II signing Desire Segbe Azankpo last July.
      But with the Senegalese international no longer at the club, the Bavarians have got rid of his mate too.
      According to BILD, Segbe and the German giants have mutually agreed to terminate his contract.
      And the 30-year-old has already found himself a new club joining Belgian second division side RFC Seraing.

      Segbe has had a strange career moving around different leagues in different countries and even spent a season at Oldham Athletic.
      The Benin international made 36 appearances for the Latics scoring six goals and registering one assist.
      But it’s fair to say he wasn’t thought of too highly by Oldham fans as he was once labelled as “one of Oldham’s worst strikers in memory.”
      Bayern representative Halil Altintop spoke about Segbe’s exit from the club this summer, he said: “Desire approached us with the request to terminate his contract for personal reasons. After a few discussions, we fulfilled his wish at short notice.

      “We got to know Desire as an exemplary professional who helped our young team on and off the pitch. We wish him all the best for his future in Belgium, both on a sporting and personal level.”
      Segbe has an impressive campaign for Bayern Munich II last season bagging 12 time in just 28 appearances.
      Bayern fans were impressed with Segbe’s time with the club and took to social media to praise him.
      One wrote: “Desire Segbe came to Munich together and because of Sadio Mane. But only one of them left good impressions, which is Segbe.”
      Mane also left Bayern this summer after he made the switch to the Middle East to join Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr.
      The pair are good friends from childhood and have both pursued their dreams of becoming professional footballers.

      Ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel ‘IRRITATING’ Bayern Munich board with his ‘erratic’ behaviour, claims shock report

      by

      THOMAS TUCHEL has reportedly irritated the Bayern Munich board with his “erratic” behaviour during the summer transfer window.It was a mixed summer for the Bundesliga giants as they signed top target Harry Kane from Tottenham but did miss out on other targets.

      Bayern completed the signing of the England star for £104million, as well as deals to bring Konrad Laimer, Kim Min-Jae and Raphaël Guerreiro to the club.
      However, the club did miss out on signing Declan Rice from West Ham before he went on to Arsenal, and a deal to sign Joao Palhinha collapsed on deadline day.
      After the club’s 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach, Tuchel, 50, revealed that he thought that the squad was still “thin” defensively.
      He said: “The squad is a bit thin, a bit small.

      “We have six trained defensive players for a four-man chain, which is perfect.”
      It has since been claimed by German outlet BILD, that Tuchel’s “negative” comments have irritated the club’s board.
      It is said that the manager’s statement was met with “incomprehension” by the board, who felt they had done everything they could to sign Palhinha.
      While it is also claimed that the board thought that Tuchel was trying to be too “creative” with the names he was bringing forward, which has seen the manager’s behaviour being called “erratic”.

      Tuchel is believed to have preferred the club to have signed Rice instead of Kane, while the board saw the striker as a priority.
      After Kane arrived, the board gave in to Tuchel’s demands and tried to sign a player similar to Rice.
      The club would have been unlikely to be able to afford both, with Rice also fetching £105million this summer.
      This led to the move for the Cottagers star, which was close to being completed on deadline day.

      Palhinha, 28, was thought to have had pictures in the Bayern shirt before the deal collapsed due to Fulham not being able to sign a replacement.
      As Bayern allowed Benjamin Pavard to move to Inter Milan and not take up the option to sign Joao Cancelo, the club has been left seemingly short in defensive options.
      However, the board were not convinced by Tuchel’s targets, which were Southampton’s Armel Bella-Kotchap and Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah.
      The former Chelsea boss helped Bayern to win the Bundesliga last season after replacing Julian Nagelsmann although he did get a helping hand as Borussia Dortmund failed to beat Mainz on the final day of the season.

      Palhinha flew to Germany to complete his medical but the deal collapsed with hours to spare.
      According to the Athletic, this has opened the door for United boss Erik ten Hag to swoop for the Fulham star in January’s transfer window.
      The report claims the Dutchman was impressed with Palhinha’s performances against United last season and that the 28-year-old was keen on the idea of a move too.
      United were hoping to make the make room in their squad by selling Scott McTominay to Bayern.

      Fulham had also hoped to land McTominay as a replacement for Palhinha but the Scot’s reluctance to move there apparently left them with no replacement for their man, causing the deal to collapse.
      United ended up signing Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat on loan on deadline day, while McTominay will stay at Old Trafford for the time being.

      Tuchel was said to be upset that the deal for Palhinha fell through, according to GOAL.

      Kane has made a strong start to life in Germany after completing a £104million move to Bayern earlier this month.
      His brace against Augsburg on Sunday took his Bundesliga goal tally to three in just two matches this season.
      Tuchel is now looking to add more English stars to his team before the transfer window closes.
      According to Sky in Germany, Eric Dier has been offered to Bayern multiple times in recent days.
