Newcastle United will need to make ‘an immoral offer’ for Alphonso Davies if they are to sign him from Bayern Munich this summer.
That’s according to Frankfurter Rundschau, who say the German champions are not interested in selling the Canadian star this summer.
Reports in England have stated that Newcastle are keen on Davies as they plan to continue spending their money in the next window.
The left-back position is one of particular weakness in Eddie Howe’s squad and it was stated that they were planning a big move for Davies to fix that.
An exit would be surprising given the starring role he has played for Bayern in recent years and FR state that it would take something special to get him out of the Allianz Arena.
They state that a move happening is ‘questionable’ as the 22-year-old is considered an ‘important building block’ for the future at Bayern. He, therefore, ‘is not for sale’.
Bayern would only start thinking about a transfer is the Premier League club were to make ‘an immoral offer’ for the defender and that would have to be ‘in the three digit million range’. In other words, €100m+.
Even if such a bid were to be made it would not be ‘guaranteed’ that Bayern would accept Newcastle’s offer anyway. That’s how uninterested they are in a sale.
Of course, money always talks and the Magpies do have plenty of it to change minds with if they wish to do so. When it comes to Davies, though, they may need to dig very deep into their wallets.
