Real Madrid’s desire to acquire a left-back for the long term is well known. Ferland Mendy has recently shown commendable performance, nevertheless, his injury record cannot be disregarded. There have been speculations that the club is willing to consider the departure of the Frenchman next summer. Alternatively, Bayern Munich considers Alphonso Davies to be their first priority at that specific position.
Real Madrid has always been considered the most probable destination for Davies next summer. The expiration of his existing contract with Bayern Munich is set for 2025, and no agreement has been reached on its renewal.
Bayern Munich would undoubtedly be reluctant to see Davies go as a free agent, similar to David Alaba’s departure a few years ago. If an extension is not agreed upon by next summer, the exit door may open.
The majority of supporters had seen Real Madrid as the clear frontrunners to get Davies. However, there has been an unforeseen development, as it seems quite likely that he will remain at Bayern Munich.
Significant turn of events in the Davies to Real Madrid transfer drama
During a Q&A session with The Athletic, David Ornstein said that when questioned about Real Madrid’s status as frontrunners to acquire Davies:
“The interest from Madrid in Davies has been extensively recorded, however, the most recent information I received indicates that the new-contract proposal from Bayern Munich was better. Therefore, unless there have been any changes or developments since then, it is expected that Davies will renew his contract.”
That unquestionably alters the whole perspective of the Davies issue. Real Madrid seems an unlikely option for Davies next season. However, it is anticipated that he will extend his contract with Bayern Munich.
Frankly speaking, Davies’ professional trajectory at the club level seems to have seen a period of little or no growth in the last several years. Regrettably, he has not achieved the anticipated level of improvement. Indeed, there are several individuals who maintain the belief that he shown superior skills in previous years compared to his current performance.
Therefore, Davies would benefit from a change in environment. Real Madrid would be an ideal fit for him. However, it seems that remaining at Bayern Munich is the most probable resolution to this complex situation.
