The Vancouver Whitecaps and Bayern Munich reportedly held talks Sunday over the transfer of teenage phenom Alphonso Davies.

German outlet BILD reports representatives from both teams met in Canada on Sunday, and that Vancouver is looking to add performance-related bonuses to a proposed $12-million (€10.2-million) deal, bringing the total value of the potential move to $18 million (€15 million). The MLS side is also thought to want a 15-percent sell-on clause inserted.

An MLS source confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Carlisle the two clubs are discussing a deal.

Based upon those figures, a deal for Davies would smash the MLS-record $10 million reportedly paid by Villarreal for U.S. striker Jozy Altidore in 2008.

Whitecaps manager Carl Robinson did not give too much away when he was inevitably asked about the Canadian prodigy after the 17-year-old was held out of the 2-0 defeat to the Seattle Sounders.

"Alphonso's got permission from the football club to take the weekend off," Robinson told reporters after the 2-0 defeat in Seattle, as reported by mlssoccer.com's Michael McColl. "It was the same process as Wednesday night, although people didn't know that and made assumptions that he was able to play, which he wasn't due to what is going on at the moment. I think you'll read a little bit more news in the coming day or two, but obviously, it's positive for him and us.

"He's in Vancouver. So he's not in Seattle, because if he was, he would have been playing and I think you saw we missed him."

Davies has enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence since debuting for the Whitecaps as a 15-year-old and has eight assists and three goals this season. His form and obvious raw talent appear to have piqued the interest of German giant Bayern, and though he has been selected for the MLS All-Star game against Juventus on Aug. 4, it remains to be seen whether he will still be a Vancouver player by then.
