Alphonso Davies Becomes Red Bull Ambassador, Drawing Mixed Reaction From Bayern Fans

The agreement is an advertising role rather than a transfer to RB Leipzig.

Overview

  • Davies announced the partnership on Instagram, posting photos and videos that show him in Red Bull gear and holding the drink.
  • Reactions under the post ranged from congratulations to many comments rejecting a link to Red Bull-branded clubs.
  • Bayern’s active fan groups have a long record of protesting Red Bull’s role in football, often boycotting trips to teams funded by the company.
  • Red Bull launched RB Leipzig and owns 99 percent of the company that runs its professional and youth teams, which fuels those fan objections.
  • The left back remains under contract at Bayern until 2030, and there is no sign of club sanctions or any transfer activity tied to the deal.
