Alphonso Davies, the dynamic left-back for Bayern Munich, could be on the market this summer as the German club now appear inclined to sell the Canadian star rather than risk losing him on a free transfer after the 2024-25 season, according to a report from AS. Bayern’s decision is driven by stalled contract negotiations with Davies, prompting them to consider a sale while they can still command a substantial fee.
Real Madrid, have been interested in Davies for quite some time. However, they are unlikely to meet Bayern’s initial €50 million asking price. The Spanish giants, who are keen to reinforce their defensive line, may find themselves in a bidding war if other top European clubs enter the fray, potentially raising the cost of acquiring the young left-back this summer.
Madrid’s caution in negotiations may stem from past experiences, such as missing out on signing Yoro, who ultimately joined Manchester United. As Bayern pushes for a decision, Real Madrid must balance their financial considerations with the need to act swiftly to avoid missing out on another key target.
Real Madrid could opt to bypass negotiations with Bayern Munich altogether by waiting until Alphonso Davies’ contract nears its end. However, this strategy poses a risk: if Bayern decides to bench Davies for the remainder of his contract, would the young Canadian be willing to endure a year of limited playtime?
