Amidst speculation surrounding the future of Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, Real Madrid emerges as a potential destination, with reports suggesting the La Liga giants are willing to play the long game to secure the Canadian left-back’s services.

Real Madrid Keen On Signing Alphonso Davies But On Free Transfer

Following the departure of key figures like David Alaba and Niklas Süle on free transfers, Bayern Munich have been keen to avoid a repeat scenario. However, Real Madrid’s pursuit of Davies could test the Bavarian club’s resolve.

According to ESPN journalist Rodrigo Fáez, Real Madrid remains interested in Davies but is hesitant to meet Bayern’s valuation, unwilling to pay more than €40 million for the 23-year-old. Instead, they are prepared to bide their time, eyeing a potential free transfer next summer.

Once viewed as a cornerstone player for Bayern’s future, Davies’ reluctance to renew his contract, which expires in 2025, has strained his relationship with the German club. Despite Bayern’s efforts to convince him otherwise, Davies seems set on exploring other options.

Real Madrid In Need of a Full-Back

Real Madrid’s interest in Davies stems from their desire to bolster their full-back options, particularly in the wake of Marcelo’s departure. Davies’ attacking prowess and defensive capabilities make him an appealing prospect for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

While Real Madrid remains confident in their ability to negotiate a favourable deal, Bayern Munich remains optimistic about retaining Davies. Bayern’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, acknowledges ongoing discussions with the player and expresses hope for a positive resolution in the coming weeks.

As speculation mounts and negotiations continue, the footballing world awaits the outcome of this intriguing transfer saga, with the possibility of Davies donning the famous white jersey of Real Madrid looming large.
