Alphonso Davies' agent Nick Huoseh has spilled the beans on his client's contract saga.

The Canadian superstar has officially penned fresh terms with Bayern Munich until 2030 after a drawn-out saga that went on for more than a year. As early as October 2023, Real Madrid began courting him with a view to a free transfer in the summer of 2025.

As the months passed, there was little progress to speak of. In fact, ahead of the 2024 summer window, the relationship between Davies and Bayern appeared to be broken after he was given a deadline for his final decision.

However, the appointment of Vincent Kompany as head coach changed everything. The icy relationship thawed and as the summer went on, it became increasingly clear that a contract extension was no longer out of the question.

A breakthrough was finally reached over the Christmas period, although there was a brief scare when Davies' camp tried to renegotiate certain points. Ultimately, the left-back's suitors, which included Man Utd in addition to Real Madrid, were disappointed.

Huoseh breaks silence

Now, Davies' agent Nick Huoseh has broken his silence and revealed everything in an interview with Winwin. "Real Madrid was definitely a serious option, and we had conversations with them, as well as with other clubs," he said.

"But in the end, a decision had to be made, and that was to stay at Bayern Munich - of course, with all due respect to Real Madrid, who are a huge club, one of the most successful in history. It is always an honour for any player to receive an offer from a club like that, as well as from Bayern Munich or other big clubs in the Premier League.

"There was interest from some Spanish clubs, but as you know, we only really spoke to a few clubs, maybe three or four. In the Premier League, there was interest from two or three clubs. However, the player's options were limited - only around five clubs showed genuine interest in signing him.

"When you leave a club like Bayern Munich, you don't have many top-level options because you're already at one of the best clubs in the world. If you look at the top clubs, Bayern are among the best."

"There was interest from Saudi Arabia, but it never got to an advanced stage because we didn't want it to become a media story, as it sometimes happens, or to be used as a negotiating tool for a better contract in Europe. The player was simply not ready for a move to Saudi Arabia.

"I also want to make something clear: when it comes to a footballer's career, there are many options. But staying at a big club for a long time is not a bad thing. Sometimes constantly changing clubs can be detrimental to a player's career. Sometimes stability can be the best choice."
