Alphonso Davies has been on Real Madrid’s wish list for a long time now. The administration in the Valdebebas see the Canadian to be an unmatched option to take over at left-back and provide the team with much-needed attacking power down the flank.
As is the case with any high-profile European transfer, however, Davies’ move to Real Madrid is easier said than done.
Bayern Munich refuse to part ways with their star and are offering him tempting offers to renew his contract.
The big offer
As revealed by MARCA today, the Bavarians’ latest offer to their star defender is worth €10 million per season.
The number is far higher than what the Germans usually offer on renewals, and that only goes on to reaffirm how important he is to their plans.
Real Madrid cannot match that number, leaving Davies with a big question. The youngster must make a choice between money and playing for the prestigious crest, just as Jude Bellingham did in the summer.
Signing for Los Blancos may require a financial compromise but offers a far better sporting project among other perks.
Real Madrid’s priorities
The Spanish outlet adds a group of criteria that Real Madrid have established surrounding Davies’s transfer that they do not wish to break under any circumstance.
The first is about the equality of players in the dressing room to maintain the environment behind the scenes.
Offering a new arrival over €10 million would ruin the dressing room’s sanctity, thus placing the aforementioned limit on wages.
Second, Real Madrid do not wish to sour relations with any club in the process of negotiating any transfers, more so with Bayern Munich.
Any transfer would thus have to stem from a complete agreement with the German outfit and a traditional negotiation over the price tag. Needless to say, that will not be easy to achieve.
