Barcelona rejected chance to sign Bayern Munich wonderkid Alphonso Davies ‘because he’s Canadian’
BARCELONA reportedly rejected the chance to sign Alphonso Davies "because he is Canadian".
Bayern Munich's whizkid is one of the world's best left-backs and was outstanding in their recent 8-2 Champions League thrashing of Barcelona.
But he could have been turning out for the Catalans as they were offered him before he signed for Bayern, according to Chilean journalist Luis Omar Tapia.
Davies bagged a stunning assist after a solo run during Friday's rout.
And after his scintillating performance, Tapia tweeted: "Here is a did you know?
"[Hristo] Stoitchkov spoke to [Barca chief Josep Maria] Bartomeu about Davies months before Bayern came on board. His response was, he is Canadian no thanks."
The 19-year-old has joint Canadian and Liberian citizenship.
But he has 17 international caps for Canada and has bagged five goals from those games.
He started his career with MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps before he was snapped up by Bayern in January 2019.

Actually, he did not have a hard life.Comrade Machel wrote:Wow that dude is 19. He must have had a hard life. He l9ks very tough/strong. Must explain how I am still poor at late 30s. I need look tougher
He does not even remember the first 5 years of his life - the "hardest" part

Re: Alphonso Davies: Ghanaian, Liberian on Canadian?
GFA must really suck ballz to lose Davis to Canada. Even Bosnia and Morocco have gotten players from Canada. How I wish Davis was a Liberian refugee born in Osun state. He would have been a Super Eagle. Easy

Re: Alphonso Davies: Ghanaian, Liberian on Canadian?
Don't think he is Ghanaian since he was born on a refugee camp and not in the country so to speak.
Re: Alphonso Davies: Ghanaian, Liberian on Canadian?
Too bad us African footy fans don't get to see Davies perform at the CAF nations cup for Liberia.

Dude sherrap. He was born on Ghanaian soil so that should automatically secure him Ghanaian citizenship. 90% of the French team have 0 ties to France other than being born somewhere in France. Why should Davis be any different. The GFA effed up big time.

If you were born or raised in France what other connection do you need? The only player for them I remember not growing up there was Trezeguet.bret- hart wrote:kalani JR wrote:Don't think he is Ghanaian since he was born on a refugee camp and not in the country so to speak.

Being born while a refugee doesn't always count as national soil, similar if you're born while your parents are on diplomatic duties.

His parents arent diplomats so that dont count. Stop using technicalities here. If Davis was born in a refugee camp in France, he would be playing for France.

He doesn't have citizenship, in order to get citizenship he/his family would have had to give up refugee status and risk not moving to Canada.bret- hart wrote:kalani JR wrote:If you were born or raised in France what other connection do you need?
