Superstar defender prefers joining Liverpool over Man Utd, with Slot to replace Klopp favourite

Posted Friday, December 13, 2024 by TEAMtalk

Liverpool are favoured by Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies ahead of Manchester United if the left-back moves to England, and a report has shed light on if and when a move would happen.

Davies, 24, is in the final year of his contract at Bayern Munich. The Canada captain looks back to his best this season and has established himself as an undroppable component in Vincent Kompany's Bayern side that are running away with the Bundesliga.

Bayern hope to tie Davies down to a long-term extension, though we are less than three weeks away from January 1 – the date from which Davies can sign a pre-contract agreement with other clubs.

Real Madrid and Man Utd are the two teams from beyond Bavaria who have been heavily linked with signing Davies.

But a fresh update from The Athletic has revealed why Davies is not enthralled with the idea of moving to Old Trafford. And even more worrying for Man Utd is the claims that if Davies does move to England, he'd likely wind up at Anfield.

The report stated: 'Manchester United have previously been linked with Davies, but sources close to the player say the upheaval at the club and their current lack of involvement in the Champions League makes them less attractive from his end.

'At a time when budgets are tight at United, Davies would be a high-earner even if arriving as a free agent and club sources say it is not a priority deal at present.

'Multiple industry sources have told The Athletic that Liverpool have expressed an interest in signing the player and that they would be the most plausible Premier League destination for him.

'However, a move to Anfield is considered an unlikely outcome at present and senior Liverpool sources have strongly denied any interest in a deal.'
