The upcoming match between FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich is going to be a special tie for several reasons. In addition to being a matchup between two of the biggest clubs in Europe, it will also see Hansi Flick face his former club.
Furthermore, as already reported, this match will also be particularly important for Joshua Kimmich, who has been linked with the Blaugrana club for more than a year now. The German midfielder has also admitted ahead of this match that this match will be special for him.
But he is not the only Bayern Munich player linked with Barcelona, who will be looking to showcase his talents in this upcoming clash. As Mundo Deportivo has noted, another such player will be Alphonso Davies.
The €50m-rated Canadian player has his contract with the Bavarians ending at the end of this season, and the Catalans have always liked his playing style. They have become even more interested in the fullback since Hansi Flick’s arrival on the Barcelona bench.
As a result, the Catalans are keeping a close eye on him, and they understand that despite his close links with Real Madrid, the Merengues have not yet completed his signing. Thus, they are hopeful that they can still end up signing him.
In this regard, they will be helped by the several deals that they have in the pipeline that will significantly enhance their salary limit, and make their desired big signings, including that of Alphonso Davies.
The presence of Hansi Flick on their bench can also help them in the competition with the likes of Real Madrid, as the German coach had converted him to the left-back position during his time at Bayern Munich, and this change had helped the Bavarians win a sextuple.
But for now, Davies will be looking forward to his clash with Barcelona, which will see him face off against Lamine Yamal.
