Real Madrid’s pursuit of Alphonso Davies has been persistent since the commencement of the 2023/24 season, with indications conveyed through media channels suggesting the Bayern Munich left-back is a primary transfer target for the club.
Interestingly, there was a phase during the season when Real Madrid appeared to cool their interest in Kylian Mbappé while intensifying efforts to secure Davies over the PSG forward.
With Mbappé’s imminent arrival at Real Madrid amid another unremarkable season for Paris Saint-Germain, Madrid’s focus on acquiring Davies has become even more pronounced.
According to reports by Sky Sport Deutschland correspondents Florian Plettenberg and Kerry Hau, Bayern Munich is operating under the assumption that Alphonso Davies will not extend his contract with them and is destined for a transfer to Real Madrid this summer.
Although conflicting reports from Germany suggest Bayern’s confidence in retaining Davies and reluctance to sell to Madrid, sources outside of Bayern’s sphere of influence corroborate the likelihood of Davies’ move.
Moreover, Spanish reports consistently point towards Davies’ potential transfer to Madrid, with speculations intensifying as the season progresses.
Bayern finds itself amidst turmoil, with manager Thomas Tuchel set to depart at the season’s end and trailing behind in the Bundesliga title race after a 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s dominance in LaLiga, coupled with the imminent arrival of Jude Bellingham and Mbappé, positions them strongly. The addition of Davies, alongside Leny Yoro, promises to fortify a defense ravaged by injuries.
Davies could provide the solution Real Madrid seeks at left-back following Marcelo’s decline, with neither Ferland Mendy nor Fran García establishing themselves as consistent starters. Additionally, former Bayern stalwart David Alaba, predominantly deployed as a center-back, is currently sidelined due to injury. Davies’ blend of defensive solidity and offensive prowess offers the balance Madrid’s left flank requires.
