Davies drink-driving incident raises eyebrows
According to BILD, Davies was stopped by local police in the early hours of Thursday morning for a routine breathalyser test.

The test revealed a blood alcohol level of 0.6g/l, falling below the 0.8g/l threshold that would have constituted a criminal offence.
While he avoided criminal charges, the Canadian international was issued a driving infraction. As a result, Davies faces a fine and a one-month suspension of his driver’s license.
)
The incident occurred at 2:15 AM, and Davies was asked to vacate the driver’s seat, with a friend taking over the wheel. Despite the off-field drama, Davies returned to training on Friday and is expected to feature in Bayern Munich’s high-stakes Bundesliga encounter against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Transfer implications for a sought-after star
The timing of this controversy could not be worse for Davies, whose future has been a major talking point in European football.
)
Real Madrid, widely regarded as front-runners for his signature, have reportedly been in talks with the defender for months and are confident of securing him when his contract expires.
Meanwhile, Manchester United and Barcelona are monitoring the situation closely, while Bayern Munich hopes to persuade the player to extend his stay in Bavaria.
However, off-field incidents like this could influence how clubs perceive the player’s professionalism, potentially impacting the value and terms of his next deal.
Despite the setback, Davies remains one of the most highly regarded left-backs in the world, and a strong performance against Borussia Dortmund could be an opportunity to shift attention back to his footballing abilities.
