Real Madrid have intensified their pursuit of Bayern Munich’s dynamic left-back Alphonso Davies, who appears destined to sign for the Spanish giants.
The Canadian sensation, highly coveted by Los Blancos, has reportedly edged closer to a potential switch to the Spanish capital this summer, amidst stalled contract talks with his current club.
Bayern Munich, who have been in discussions with Davies over a new contract, find themselves in a delicate position as the 20-year-old starlet leans towards a move to Real Madrid.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that Davies’ preference for a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu has complicated Bayern’s efforts to secure a new deal.
While Bayern values Davies at 50 million euros, Real Madrid is weighing an offer in the region of 30-35 million euros, setting the stage for a tense transfer standoff.
The situation was highlighted by Kicker reporter Georg Holzner, who indicated a growing likelihood that Davies could depart Bavaria this summer rather than honouring the remaining year on his contract.
Real Madrid, proactive in their pursuit, had reportedly agreed on personal terms with Davies as early as March, positioning themselves advantageously in negotiations.
Davies’ potential arrival at Real Madrid could have ripple effects within the club’s squad dynamics. Carlo Ancelotti, the Madrid manager, holds French left-back Ferland Mendy in high regard.
However, Davies’ impending move might prompt Real Madrid to re-evaluate their plans for Mendy, whose future negotiations could be influenced by the Canadian’s potential signing.
