Bayern ‘Officially’ Announces the Sale of Alphonso Davies

The latest news from Germany is positive for Real Madrid, as the club might secure its top priority for the upcoming summer.

Amid the debate about whether to sign a central defender during the winter transfer window, Real Madrid continues to keep its medium-term signing objectives in mind. One of the most prominent targets, perhaps the number one according to the board, is Alphonso Davies. The Canadian ’19’ has become, in four months, Florentino Pérez’s top priority to ensure the generational shift in the left-back position.

His potential transfer might be a step closer with the latest update from Germany. BILD, Bayern Munich’s flagship newspaper, has identified four players who could be on their way out of Allianz Arena in the summer of 2024, and one of them is Alphonso Davies. The fact that the North American full-back has been labeled as transferable makes a possible approach from Real Madrid more feasible.

This is especially significant because Bayern Munich had shown strong resistance since October to his transfer. Initially estimated at 50 million euros due to Davies having only one year left on his contract, the operation’s value increased to 70 million euros due to the instability in the Bavarian club’s board, aligning with his current market value.

A step further Despite this increase, the Real Madrid board has not stopped working to distance Davies further from a possible contract renewal. Rumors of the ’19’ negotiating a contract extension seem to have lost momentum considerably. Therefore, the Real Madrid option for the 23-year-old defender is becoming increasingly plausible.

If Real Madrid manages to secure the signing of Alphonso Davies, the club would successfully close one of its two planned galactic signings for the upcoming summer. The other target is Kylian Mbappé, who could arrive at the Santiago Bernabéu as a free agent. Confidence in the Bondy striker is at historic lows, prompting Valdebebas offices to explore alternatives in the attacking department.
