Real Madrid is evidently progressing in their pursuit to secure the signing of Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer, positioning themselves favorably in the transfer market. This potential acquisition of the Frenchman would mark Real Madrid’s second addition for the upcoming season, complementing the earlier recruitment of Endrick.
In addition to their pursuits of Endrick and Mbappe, Real Madrid has identified several other prospective targets, with a particular focus on bolstering their options in the fullback position.
Among these targets, Alphonso Davies has garnered significant interest from Real Madrid for the upcoming summer transfer window, as the club seeks to reinforce their left-back position.
Davies has emerged as an attractive prospect for Los Blancos due to his contractual situation with Bayern Munich, which is set to expire in 2025. Reports suggest that the player has expressed reluctance towards extending his contract with Bayern Munich and has, purportedly, communicated his desire to join Real Madrid.
Real Madrid willing to wait until 2025 for Davies
Fabrizio Romano has recently provided an update regarding the transfer situation involving Alphonso Davies. According to the Italian journalist, Real Madrid is prepared to exercise patience until 2025 if Bayern Munich’s asking price proves exorbitant during this upcoming transfer window.
This development follows reports indicating that Bayern Munich may demand a fee as high as €70 million for the acquisition of the Canadian international’s services in the upcoming transfer window.
Given Real Madrid’s recent substantial financial commitments towards acquisitions such as Mbappe and Endrick, they are currently unable to meet such financial demands for Davies. Consequently, the Spanish club is prepared to defer any potential transfer until 2025, when Davies could join on a free transfer.
While some may argue that delaying the acquisition until 2025 risks losing out to other prominent European clubs interested in Davies, Real Madrid is cognizant of the player’s strong desire to represent the club. This factor could prove pivotal in deterring Bayern Munich’s efforts to secure a transfer for Davies this summer, potentially leading him to honor his contract with Bayern Munich until its expiration.
