Bayern’s Proposal to Real Madrid: A Davies Exchange ‘Worth the Same'”
Updates on Real Madrid’s agenda come with a name attached: Alphonso Davies. The Bayern Munich full-back is inching closer to the Spanish capital, and in Germany, they seem resigned to the inevitable negotiation with Florentino Pérez.
Alphonso Davies finds himself edging nearer to Real Madrid with each passing day. Conversations that Juni Calafat has maintained with the full-back and his circle for over a year have been pivotal in his rejection of all renewal offers. With Bayern fully resigned and ready to negotiate, they are already devising strategies to secure the best possible deal.
Hence, they have contemplated an exchange: Real Madrid acquires Alphonso Davies, and Bayern Munich introduces Brahim Díaz as their new player. This proposed swap from the Allianz Arena’s top brass aligns with the market values of both players. Although Davies’ value stands at €70 million, entering the final year of his contract lowers that threshold to below €50 million.
That’s the amount Florentino Pérez could demand from any team interested in signing Brahim Díaz this summer. Munich continues to monitor the progress of the Madrid attacker closely: his appearances with Real Madrid this season have impressed Bayern executives, especially after his standout performance and stunning goal against RB Leipzig in the Champions League round of 16 first leg.
The Bayern Munich views Brahim Díaz as the perfect solution to their attacking problems experienced this season, an ideal justification to let Alphonso Davies leave without incurring any financial expense. The idea is met with some reservation at Valdebebas: the Malaga native has been with the Madrid ranks for less than a year but has already become indispensable to Carlo Ancelotti.
The shift in dynamics led by the Madrid attacking midfielder has positioned him as the ideal replacement for Jude Bellingham, as well as a versatile player for Madrid’s attack when the Englishman is present. The confidence of the Madrid hierarchy grows… just as the chances of an early exit suggested by Bayern Munich diminish.
