Update: After tension and rigmarole, Alphonso Davies and Bayern Munich nearing four-year agreement

Update — Friday, January 17th 7:40PM EST: Davies to ink four-year deal

Per TSN (Canada) reporter Rick Westhead, Alphonso Davies and Bayern Munich will come together to sign a four-year agreement:

New: Bayern Munich is in advanced talks with Canadian star Alphonso Davies to sign a new four-year contract, a person familiar with the matter confirmed to TSN.

Davies’ agent Nedal Huoseh and Bayern director of sport Max Eberl discussed the new contract today and could finalize an agreement as soon as next week.

Davies had contract offers from clubs in England and Spain.

According to a report from The Athletic, Bayern Munich and Alphonso Davies are nearing a deal that will keep the Canadian in Bavaria.

This comes just a day after things appeared to have hit rock bottom in talks that were — allegedly — filled with tension:

Bayern Munich are close to an agreement with Alphonso Davies over a new contract.

The Canada (CANMNT) captain’s existing terms with the Bundesliga club are set to expire at the end of the season leaving him free to speak to overseas clubs.

But after months of talks only a small gap remains between Bayern and the 24-year-old left-back’s expectations on a proposed four-year deal.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano chimed in as well:

Bayern are close to completing the agreement to extend Alphonso Davies’ contract, talks advancing.

Final details to clarify but now progressing well.

Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg also confirmed the new and said there was progress after the blowup on Wednesday:

BREAKING | Yes, Alphonso #Davies is now close to extending his contract until at least 2029, with 2030 also a possibility ✔️

Today, new negotiations took place between Max Eberl and his agent Nick Huoseh. There was significant progress after Wednesday’s conflict after @TheAthletic.

The clear trend now: Davies will extend. Some terms still need to be finalized.
