According to a report, Bayern Munich have engaged in discussions with AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez as a potential replacement for left-back Alphonso Davies. With Davies’ contract expiring in 2025 and no progress made on a new deal, Bayern faces speculation of a potential summer sale to avoid losing him for free next year.
The Canadian international has attracted interest from Real Madrid, prompting Bayern to consider Hernandez as a contingency plan. Hernandez, 26, reportedly expressed willingness to join Bayern, although talks with Milan regarding his €60m valuation are yet to commence.
Bayern’s pursuit of Hernandez hinges on Davies’ departure, with the club’s new head coach also holding veto power over the deal. Meanwhile, Bayern continues its search for a successor to Thomas Tuchel, with former manager Hansi Flick among the candidates.
