Alphonso Davies becomes priority target for Real Madrid

Last week marked the end of the summer transfer window, but clubs are still pursuing their long-term objectives. After Christoph Freund was selected as the new sporting director, Bayern Munich is also anticipated to begin focusing on long-term goals. Alphonso Davies’ future will need to be secured for Freund in the face of interest from a major European club.

 

Alphonso Davies is Real Madrid’s primary choice to bolster the left-back position next summer, according to Marca. Real Madrid is closely monitoring Davies’ status in Bavaria as he has two years remaining on his contract with Bayern.

Real Madrid had previously expressed interest in the Canadian full-back. Last season, Davies was mentioned in connection with the Spanish capital. Moving away from Munich this summer was not an option, though. Davies is regarded by Die Roten as being an essential team component.

Bayern is eager to extend Davies a new contract. Last season, the club and the agent of the Canadian full-back had an agreement for a new contract, but Hasan Salihamidzic’s departure has radically altered the situation. Die Roten will need to restart negotiations with Davies’ representatives for a new contract. To begin with 2024, the full-back has postponed contract negotiations.

Ever since Davies joined Bayern from the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2019, he has been an essential member of the team. Under Hansi Flick, the Canadian made a seamless transition to left-back and assisted Die Roten in winning the Champions League in 2020. He has solidified his position as one of the greatest left-backs in the world over the past three seasons.

Davies, who turns 23 in November, has the best ahead of him. It is imperative for the team to renew the deal as soon as possible because he might end up becoming Die Roten’s left-back for the foreseeable future. An ideal situation would be for a contract extension to be reached before the season’s finish.#

Top players have recently been acquired by Real Madrid from Bayern. David Alaba and Toni Kroos departed Bayern to sign with Real Madrid. Success for both players has ensured that Die Roten regrets their departure. The Bavarian club will be desperate to prevent Davies from experiencing a similar situation.

With three assists in the first three gameweeks of the Bundesliga season, Alphonso Davies is off to a strong start. In fact, the Canadian full-back is in a stronger position in the talks with Die Roten. In the upcoming months, it will be interesting to see how Freund and the new administration handle his predicament.
