Alphonso Davies, a 23-year-old Canadian left-back, could be one of the most significant additions to FC Barcelona for the upcoming season. The potential departure of Davies from the Bavarian club has raised expectations at Barça, who believe his signing would strengthen the team"s left flank and add a quality boost to the current squad. With his speed and ability in both attack and defense, the Canadian stands out as an attractive option for the club. 

Barça"s interest adds to the competition from Real Madrid, who are also looking to strengthen their defense with Davies. However, the Catalan team holds a significant advantage: the relationship between current Barça coach, Hansi Flick, and Davies himself. Flick was the coach who debuted Davies in Bayern Munich"s first team during the 2019-20 season, in which the German club won the treble. During that season, Davies played 29 Bundesliga matches under Flick"s guidance, which reinforces the connection and trust between them. At Barça, they believe that this relationship could be key in convincing the player to join their project.

For his part, Davies has left his future at Bayern uncertain. In a recent interview with the German outlet "Bild," the Canadian stated that he is focused on his current team but did not rule out a change of course. "I am fully focused on Bayern. Whether I stay or leave the club, I will always carry this club in my heart," he commented. Additionally, regarding a potential contract renewal, he was clear in stating that the decision will depend on his agent, suggesting that he is open to exploring other options for his professional future. 

FC Barcelona sees Davies as a player who would fit well into their playing system, especially with Flick"s vision as coach. His ability to join the attack and his skill in regaining possession make him an interesting reinforcement for a team seeking a balance between defense and offense. Moreover, Davies" experience in the Champions League and his familiarity with European football position him as an ideal candidate to contribute to the rebuilding project Barça is undertaking.

Meanwhile, the Blaugranas continue to assess the feasibility of this potential signing, aware that they will not be the only ones in the race for the Canadian. However, the presence of Hansi Flick and the shared history between coach and player could be decisive in attracting Davies to the team. As the transfer window approaches, the future of Alphonso Davies is shaping up to be a storyline to follow closely, with the potential to be a strategic move for Barça in their quest to build a competitive team in Europe.
