Manchester City has received a potential “boost” in the form of Alphonso Davies, with rumors suggesting that Bayern Munich’s star player might be considering a move to the Premier League club next summer. Davies, regarded as one of the best left-backs globally, has yet to sign a new deal with Bayern, leading to speculation about his future.
The 23-year-old Canadian joined Bayern Munich in January 2019 and has since become a key player, featuring in 174 games for the Bundesliga giants. Talks about a contract extension have reportedly stalled, putting City on alert.
Bayern remains hopeful that Davies will eventually agree to improved terms, but if he doesn’t, there’s a possibility he could be released from his contract for transfer purposes.
While details about a potential fee are not provided, City is believed to face competition from top European clubs, with Real Madrid considered a significant rival in the race for Davies. The Canadian international has also attracted attention due to his impressive performances, having scored 15 goals in 44 appearances for his national team.
In addition to the speculation surrounding Alphonso Davies, The Daily Mail reports that Manchester City is closely monitoring Middlesbrough player Hayden Hackney. The 21-year-old midfielder has been gaining recognition with Championship side Middlesbrough and is a part of the English U21 squad.
Hackney, who progressed through Middlesbrough’s Academy system, has made 20 appearances for the team this season, contributing with one goal and an assist. Premier League scouts, including those from Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham, have reportedly been watching Hackney’s performances under manager Michael Carrick.
While a move for the young talent is more likely to happen next summer than in the upcoming January transfer window, his promising displays have sparked considerable interest from top English clubs.
The potential acquisition of both Alphonso Davies and Hayden Hackney could strengthen Manchester City’s squad, providing depth and talent as they aim for success on multiple fronts. The upcoming transfer windows promise to be intriguing, with City positioned as active participants in the pursuit of these talented players.
