Real Madrid, after successfully securing the signing of Kylian Mbappé, has set their sights on Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies, as reported by sources to ESPN. It has been revealed that Madrid would aim to sign Davies if he chooses not to renew his contract, which is set to expire in 2025.
The relationship between Real Madrid and Davies is described as “excellent” by sources close to the deal. Madrid is in a waiting game as they await the decision of the player and Bayern regarding their next steps before moving forward with the signing. Davies is currently evaluating Bayern’s contract renewal offer, which apparently falls short of his expectations in terms of terms and conditions.
Alphonso Davies had a challenging season with Bayern Munich, a season that was marked by the appointment of Vincent Kompany as the new manager. Bayern ended the season without winning any trophies and faced elimination in the Champions League semifinals, notably against Madrid. Despite this, Davies scored a goal coming off the bench in the second leg of the semi-final match.
Real Madrid is clear that they will not pay an exorbitant transfer fee for Davies, especially when considering that he could be available on a free transfer in the following year. The club’s budget remains firm, and they are unwilling to exceed the reported range of €35-40 million for the transfer.
At 23 years old, Alphonso Davies would bring valuable skills and versatility to the Real Madrid squad. With uncertainties surrounding the future of current left-back Ferland Mendy, Davies could become a pivotal addition to the team. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has been hesitant to rely on academy product Fran García at left-back, further highlighting the need for an experienced and dependable player in that position.
While Real Madrid is optimistic about the possibility of signing Alphonso Davies, the final decision rests with Bayern Munich and the player himself. Negotiations are expected to proceed smoothly as long as Bayern agrees to a price point that aligns with Madrid’s budget. The future of Ferland Mendy and the potential signing of Davies may or may not be directly linked, according to undisclosed sources. The coming months will reveal the outcome of this high-stakes transfer pursuit by Real Madrid.
