Secret meeting at Davies Poker in Munich
In the past few days there is said to have been a secret meeting between Davies advisor Nick Huoseh and Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund on Säbener Straße.
This is reported by the pay channel Sky.
The discussions were about Alphonso Davies' future with the German record champions.
The 23-year-old still has a contract until 2025. If Davies doesn't extend his contract, Bayern would have to sell in the summer in order to get a decent transfer fee.
In recent months, Real Madrid has repeatedly been mentioned as a hot prospect.

Davies' farewell to FC Bayern is looming
The problem: According to the report, Davies is demanding a huge salary increase for an early and long-term contract extension, which the club does not want to pay him.
In addition, those responsible in Munich were recently dissatisfied with the full-back's performance.
Davies is currently out with a muscle injury, which is why coach Thomas Tuchel announced the “next bad news” at the Bayern PK.
According to Sky, the bosses are now assuming that Davies will not extend his contract and will force a departure.
However, Bild
reports
that the meeting was not about a change.
The discussions were positive, but numbers were not discussed.
FC Bayern under pressure: Real Madrid wants to lower the price for Davies
Real Madrid, however, are said to have already negotiated salary with Davies, and there is also talk of an oral agreement.
According to Sky information, the Royals are prepared to put between 40 and 50 million euros on the table for a transfer.
The initial offer should initially amount to 35 to 40 million euros.
Bayern expect that the Madrilenians want to lower the price for Davies, whose market value is 70 million euros.
A lot of work awaits sports director Freund and Max Eberl, who will be appointed the new sports director on Monday, in the Davies case.
The meeting with advisor Huoseh will probably not be the last in the next few weeks.
FC Bayern has the ex-Munich player's brother in their sights as Davies' successor
Meanwhile, FC Bayern is looking at possible successors in view of Davies' impending departure.
One candidate is said to be Theo Hernandez, brother of ex-Bayern star Lucas.
The Milan professional is currently one of the best full-backs in the world.
However, the French international, who is contractually bound to the Italian metropolis until 2026, would not be a bargain.
