Real Madrid’s Confident Pursuit of Alphonso Davies for 2024

Real Madrid is reportedly “more confident than ever” in securing a star signing for the summer of 2024, but contrary to expectations, it won’t be Kylian Mbappe. The club’s focus is set on Alphonso Davies, and they believe that the Canadian star will make the switch from Bayern Munich.

Davies has been linked with Real Madrid for several months, primarily due to the club’s pressing need for a left-back. According to Relevo, there is a strong alignment of interests between Davies, Real Madrid, and his agent Nedal Househ, as they work towards Davies’ departure from Bayern Munich.

It appears that Bayern Munich has come to terms with Davies’ desire to leave the club. Although his contract extends until 2025, Davies has consistently rejected their attempts to extend it. He has cited instability at Bayern as the reason for his reluctance to renew, but it’s clear that he has no intention of committing to a new deal.

The pivotal question now is how Bayern will respond. If they wish to avoid losing Davies for free, they must engage in negotiations with Real Madrid for a transfer next summer. Real Madrid has previously employed a similar strategy to secure Toni Kroos at a reduced cost while waiting for the opportunity to sign David Alaba on a free transfer. Alaba, one of Davies’ close friends from their Bayern days, may play a role in fostering confidence within the Real Madrid dressing room.

Reports have suggested a potential transfer fee in the range of €40-50 million for Davies in the upcoming summer, though these figures remain unconfirmed. Real Madrid’s negotiating position will largely depend on whether they can maintain Davies’ commitment and whether Bayern can attract interest from other clubs, which could drive the price higher.
