As far as Real Madrid’s transfer strategy is concerned, Alphonso Davies has been the second most talked about issue in Real Madrid circles, immediately after Kylian Mbappe as the most talked about player.
As Real Madrid looks to strengthen their alternatives in the fullback position, it has been stated that Davies is one of the club’s priority in the market.
Real Madrid is prepared to make a deal with Bayern Munich that would allow them to acquire the young player at a reduced price, which means that his future in Bavaria is doubtful.
That being said, Davies is not the only player that Real Madrid is interested in acquiring during this summer’s transfer window, at least in terms of the defensive position.
It has been reported by Jorge Picon that Los Blancos are even reducing their interest in Davies in order to direct their attention on a certain Leny Yoro.
Yoro will be given priority over Davies at Real Madrid, right?
Throughout the course of the season, Yoro has been rumored to be interested in a transfer to Real Madrid, particularly when he established himself as a major player at LOSC Lille.
Recent reports indicate that Real Madrid has increased its efforts to acquire Yoro, as Picon has suggested. It would seem that there has been a change in priorities, since the club is now concentrating on the Yoro deal rather than the Davies agreement.
All connected to Nacho Fernandez
The most apparent reason that might lead to such a change in priorities is the future of Nacho Fernandez, who is not expected to remain at Santiago Bernabeu beyond the summer. This is the reason that could lead to such a change in priorities.
According to reports, Nacho is considering leaving Real Madrid after having spent the last 23 years with the club. It is possible that his departure may result in a significant void in the core defensive unit.
It is common knowledge that Real Madrid is fully aware of this fact, and they are now prepared to fill that void by acquiring Leny Yoro over the summer.
Where does Davies stand?
According to the source, Real Madrid has not completely disregarded the possibility of acquiring Davies, despite the fact that the possibility has been eliminated in recent days. This is mostly down to Ferland Mendy’s better performance.
The Spanish giants, on the other hand, have a very high opinion of Davies and will continue to keep an eye on his position at Bayern. Nevertheless, the signing of Leny Yoro will be the top priority for the time being, despite the fact that reaching an agreement with LOSC Lille would not be an easy task.
Please take notice that the present deal that Davies has with Bayern will end in the year 2025. Therefore, there is a chance that Real Madrid will be able to acquire him from another club on a free transfer the following year.
Davies has shown a significant amount of reluctance to continue playing for Bayern, despite the fact that the club does not often let players to finish out their contracts. At the same time, the Canadian international is cognizant of the possibility presented by Real Madrid.
However, the most of the questions about Davies’ future will be answered throughout the summer. In spite of this, it seems that the left-back could have to wait a little bit longer, which would give Real Madrid the opportunity to sign Yoro, before the club makes a play for him.
