€70 million-rated Bayern Munich speedster has decided to join Real Madrid in the summer
In a season riddled by injuries, Real Madrid sit at the pinnacle of the league standings with a solid five-point lead.
In a season riddled by injuries, Real Madrid sit at the pinnacle of the league standings with a solid five-point lead.
The men in white may be without their best goalkeeper and best defender this season, but that has not stopped them from going on a rampant run across all competitions.
Heading into the summer, the squad is only set to get stronger. Florentino Perez is targeting at least two big signings in addition to bringing in a new centre-back.
One of their primary targets for the summer is Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies who has established himself as a quality left-back in recent years.
The Canadian superstar provides more attacking firepower than the likes of Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia and thus becomes an ideal option for Real Madrid’s style of football.
According to journalist Carlos Carpio of MARCA (via RubenMartin on YouTube), Davies has decided that he wishes to play for Real Madrid next season.
The left-back, whose market value stands at €70 million, will likely not sign any form of extension with Bayern Munich despite his contract running out next summer, and will thus push for an exit.
Los Blancos must now sit down with the Bavarians and reach an agreement over the player’s transfer. The operation will not be cheap by any means, but the fact that he has just one year remaining on his contract plays in Real Madrid’s favour.
The Spanish source once again reiterates that the Merengues can rope in both Davies and Kylian Mbappe next summer. Their financial status would permit the two big-name signings concurrently.
Despite Real Madrid’s overt efforts to sign Davies, Bayern Munich refuse to give up hopes of convincing the player of a renewal. After all, he is fundamental to their plans and losing him will significantly dampen their attacking prowess.
The two parties have been in negotiations for a long time now, with Davies reportedly demanding €13 million per season to even consider Bayern’s offer.
Needless to say, that figure is a little steep on the Germans’ wage bill, thus creating a difference between the two parties.
