Liverpool closing in on sensational swoop for Bayern Munich star

Former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, known for his strong connections within football, revealed to Football Insider that Liverpool have joined the race for Alphonso Davies. The 24-year-old Bayern Munich star is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, allowing him to enter pre-contract negotiations with other clubs starting in January.

Liverpool’s pursuit of Alphonso Davies comes amid growing concerns over Andy Robertson’s role in the starting XI, with the Scotsman’s performances this season raising doubts about his long-term future. Liverpool’s search for a new left-back has intensified following Andy Robertson’s recent red card in the 2-2 draw with Fulham, though a move is more likely in the summer than in January.

Davies, regarded as one of the most influential left wing-backs of his generation, has attracted interest from several top European clubs. While not known for his defensive prowess, his scary pace and ability to zoom past opponents make him a formidable attacking force. In 215 appearances for Bayern Munich, the Canadian international has contributed to 44 goals — a remarkable achievement for a full-back. Liverpool remain optimistic about striking a deal, but with Real Madrid also in the race, financial considerations could play a crucial role in securing his signature.

“From what I hear, Liverpool have had scouts watching him,” “They’ll know all about him and they’ll be making their assessment on how good they think he is.“

“Then, the scouts will report back to the chief scout or even to the manager before a final decision is made based on what they’ve seen. “The fact he’s available on a free is a big draw as well, for a player of his stature, because he’s very highly regarded.“

“There is lots of interest in him from clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid, so Liverpool may not be able to compete financially with them. “But if they’re looking that closely at him, they must be confident that they can reach an agreement.“

Securing Alphonso Davies would be a monumental statement from Liverpool, reinforcing their intent to remain at the top of European football. Arne Slot’s tactical brilliance and Liverpool’s pursuit of long-term reinforcements at the left-back position make Davies the perfect fit.
