Bayern Munich has acquired the rights of the 17-year-old offensive midfielder Alphonso Davies from the Vancouver Whitehouse team, confirmed the president of the Germans Uli Hoeness. According to 'Bild', $13 million will be paid for him, and the amount may increase to 20 million under certain conditions. This is a new transfer record from the American Major League. The Canadian national will join the Bayern team in Philadelphia, where the team is on camp. There he will pass medical examinations, then sign his contract. But then, the teenager will return to Vancouver to play the season, and in Munich he will only arrive in January when he reaches the age of majority.
'I personally did not look at him, but the CEO Hasan Salihamidzic liked him!', said Hoeness. The Bavarian chief also commented on other topics: 'Is Tiago Alcantara having a future in Bayern? This is a question to the coach, not to me. However, our lineup is too large and we will have to sell one , two or even three. Jerome Boateng at Paris Saint-Germain? If there was anything official, they would have told me. There is nothing at the moment. As for James Rodriguez and Real Madrid, I will say that the Spaniards have never wanted to return him. But even if they did, we would not let him go. We have no doubt that we will take it permanently, having a whole year to do it.'
