According to journalist Jose Felix Diaz in MARCA, Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies is well aware that joining Real Madrid will require patience.
He will need to wait until 2025, the year his current contract with Bayern Munich will expire before he can make the move to the Spanish giants.
At this moment, Real Madrid believe that their squad is well-equipped and capable of performing at the highest level. Despite this, Davies remains an appealing prospect largely because of his current contractual situation.
As it stands, Davies has not agreed to a new contract with Bayern Munich and has remained firm despite the club’s efforts to convince him otherwise.
Notably, Bayern Munich have not initiated any talks with Real Madrid, nor have the Merengues reached out to the Bundesliga champions to discuss a potential transfer.
Futures are at stake
The situation has been complicated by the recent renewal of Ferland Mendy’s contract at Real Madrid. This development has slightly dampened the urgency to bring Davies to the Bernabeu this summer.
However, this does not mean that he is no longer of interest to Real Madrid. Instead, the focus has shifted to the 2025-26 season when his contract with Bayern will come to an end.
From the beginning, it was understood by Davies’ representatives that Real Madrid’s interest hinged on him not renewing his current deal with Bayern.
Real Madrid want no market action
Real Madrid are not inclined to enter into a bidding war for Davies. While the Canadian full-back remains a player of significant interest, the decision has been made to wait until his contract expires.
If Bayern Munich choose to seek a transfer for Davies this summer due to his reluctance to renew his contract, it appears unlikely that Real Madrid will engage in any negotiations.
Real Madrid’s approach to Davies is clear: they are firm in their intention to wait for him until the summer of 2025.
In this scenario, Kylian Mbappe’s situation is likely to serve as a reference for many, highlighting the strategy of holding out for the right opportunity and reaping the benefits later.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will continue to push for a contract renewal with Davies, trying to keep their key player on board.
