Pep Guardiola's men are currently 3-0 up on Bayern in the Champions League quarter-final and look good for a semi-final spot if recent form is anything to go by. 

Bayern are formidable opponents, especially when playing at the Allianz Arena, but they will have to put on an amazing performance to overturn the three-goal deficit.

Man City keen on Bayern's Alphonso Davies

According to a report from Sky Sport Germany, Guardiola could pile more misery on Bayern this summer by taking advantage of an incredible opportunity to make a bid for Davies.

City believe Davies could permanently solve the club's left-back issues and his versatility could allow him play further forward as well. 

The Canada international could be available this summer if he chooses not to extend with the Bavarians, as his deal expires in 2025. 

The Etihad Club loaned Joao Cancelo out to Bayern, where he is operating mainly as a right-back and the Bundesliga outfit are expected to make Cancelo’s move to Germany permanent this summer, although they hope to do so at a significantly lower fee.

Bigger picture

Guardiola's men are not the only team keeping tabs on the situation as Real Madrid are also believed to hold an interest in the Bayern star. 

Since joining Bayern in January 2019, Davies has proven himself to be one of the best left-backs in Europe. He has performed consistently and still only 22, has plenty of time to keep improving.
