If the Kylian Mbappé file crystallizes attention at Real Madrid, another arrival is in the little papers of Casa Blanca. To strengthen its left-back position, the Madrid club has been checking the name of Alphonso Davies for a while. The Canadian has also received a bit of pressure in this matter.
An important element of Bayern Munich for several seasons, Alphonso Davies (23 years old) quickly became a world reference at the left-back position. Part of his Canadian selection, the left winger already has 5 Bundesliga titles to his credit as well as the 2020 Champions League. Still valuable this season, he has 23 appearances with the Recorder for 3 assists. A place of choice in one of the biggest clubs in the world which does not prevent the artistic vagueness around its future.
Under contract until June 2025 and having not extended since April 2020, Alphonso Davies arrives at a pivotal moment in his Bavarian adventure. Demanding a salary of between 10 and 13 million euros per year in order to extend, he saw Bayern Munich's position went against his wishes. The Bavarian club is not willing to agree to such an amount at the moment and this puts a significant damper on this file. This is when Real Madrid is in a good position.
Ban on extension for Alphonso Davies
Fran Garcia showing himself to be disappointing and Ferland Mendy failing to achieve unanimous support, the Merengues want to recruit a left back for this summer. If Miguel Guttierez, who is a hit with Girona, is an interesting avenue for the Merengues, the other wish of Florentino Perez and his associates leads to Alphonso Davies. According to Sky Sports Germany , the Canadian remains the main prospect of the Spanish team in this position and regular contacts would take place with his agent.
The German media explains that Real Madrid made a particularly specific request to the player through Juni Calafat, the man who dictates the Merengues' sporting planning. This request would be not to extend his contract which binds him to Bayern Munich. Indeed, if the summer transfer window begins when he only has one year remaining in his contract, this will facilitate a departure. This would then be the last window (with the winter transfer window) for Bayern Munich to be able to recover a nice amount in the operation. Feeling good in Bavaria and not being in a hurry at the moment, Alphonso Davies could see a transfer to Real Madrid pass under his nose in the event of an extension, because the Merengues would no longer consider this purchase to be realistic.
