The speedster Alphonso Davies, who plays for Bayern Munich, is one of the players that Real Madrid is most interested in acquiring before the summer transfer market opens.
Despite Carlo Ancelotti’s confidence in the French defender, the club that plays in the capital of Spain is willing to sell Ferland Mendy because they believe that the left-back, who is 23 years old, is an improvement over the current player.
By the year 2025, Davies’ current contract with Bayern Munich would have expired, and the Bundesliga champions are now attempting to persuade him to sign a new contract.
The Bavarians have exerted some pressure on the Canadian international player to extend his contract, and discussions have taken place between the two parties.
Davies was adamant on signing with Real Madrid.
It has been reported by AS that Davies is keen to achieve his dream move to Real Madrid in the summer, despite the fact that Bayern Munich is pushing to prolong his contract.
In the previous year, the 23-year-old attempted to negotiate a new contract with Bayern, but the conversations were terminated owing to the instability that existed inside the club offices and the changes that occurred in the hierarchy.
When Real Madrid saw the chance, they took action to attempt to sign Davies for a fair sum in 2024, when he would have only one year remaining on his contract. This is similar to what they did with Toni Kroos ten years ago.
Bayern, on the other hand, continues to have optimism that they will be able to persuade Davies to sign a new deal, despite the fact that the salaries that are being given and sought are in dispute.
In a recent statement, their sports director Christoph Freund voiced some confidence over the likelihood of Davies continuing in Munich till further notice.
On the other hand, AS has discovered that such statements are predicated on the idea that Davies plans to stay in Germany; however, at the present time, this is not the case.
The defensive player is aware of Madrid’s interest in him and is hopeful that the two clubs can reach a deal this summer to allow him to go on to other opportunities.
The fact that Real Madrid has a positive connection with Bayern Munich gives them the confidence that they will be able to achieve a consensus over a reasonable price for Davies.
There is still the potential that Bayern may compel Davies to remain in Munich until the year 2025. If this were to occur, Real Madrid would wait until that year to sign him for free, despite the fact that this is not the club’s first choice.
Despite the fact that negotiations between teams are expected to take place as the summer transfer window draws near, Davies has made it quite apparent that he is serious about making a change of scenery and joining Real Madrid.
