Speaking in an interview with France Football, the 24-year-old has reflected on his difficult first season in Germany and the competition from Davies.
"I still have four years left on my contract. I want to make a name for myself here and be part of the team in the long term," the French international explained.
"Even in the difficult situation I found myself in last season, I always saw myself with Bayern. I have always felt the club's confidence in me, from the management, the coach and my teammates.
"With his speed, technical ability and positional play, [Davies] emerged as the best left-back in the world. Personally, I need competition to be able to progress."
Davies is expected to make his return from injury in December.
