There is no doubt that this FC Barcelona team is setting new heights that very few teams have managed so early on in a season. Ever since Hansi Flick arrived as the new coach, this Catalan team has been aiming for the stars. Fortunately for Barcelona and the German coach, things can only get better from here.
As players gradually return from injury and the tactical concepts that Hansi Flick wants to implement become even clearer, this Barcelona team has no established ceiling just yet. Instead, all they have is an unlimited potential that will only be restricted by the players themselves.
However, despite this promise and this early strength, it is never a bad time to highlight where improvements can be made or which new players could potentially be recruited to give a team an even better edge. For that reason, over the last few weeks, Barcelona have been linked to a certain Bayern Munich full-back.
Aged 24, Alphonso Davies is a player who is well-renowned across the footballing world. One of the fastest players in the game today, the Canadian defender is one of the players who Barcelona have on their agenda given that his contract with Bayern Munich runs out in the summer of 2025.
However, as per Mundo Deportivo, the Bavarian club have reportedly made a final attempt to get the player to stay with their latest renewal offer to him. So far, however, there is no guarantee over whether or not he even ends up accepting this new offer and his future remains up in the air.
Regardless of the fact that he remains a key player in the project that Vincent Kompany is trying to build at Bayern Munich, Davies has given no guarantees over his future. For now, however, multiple reports continue to suggest that strong interest from both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid remains constant.
Furthermore, the mere fact that Hansi Flick is currently coaching the Catalan club could play in Barça’s favor given that the Canadian star has a rather trophy-laden history with the German coach. At Barcelona, there could be the chance of a much-awaited reunion between a player and a coach who managed to get the best out of him.
However, with Alejandro Balde still in the club, Davies may be more of a luxury signing than a necessity. For now, his situation with Bayern Munich remains something that Barcelona will likely keep an eye on to assess if a top players like Alphonso Davies can even be recruited for no transfer fee by the summer.
