Manchester United have enquired about the availability of Alphonso Davies, Real Madrid front-runners to sign the Bayern Munich full-back.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United are looking to reinforce the left-back position and they are looking at Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies as a top target for the next summer transfer window.
Davies made a name for himself while playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Major League Soccer. He was a huge prospect and multiple top clubs were keen on signing him. Bayern struck a deal for his services at the start of 2019.
Since making the move to Germany, the 23-year-old full-back has only gone from strength to strength. From being someone who used to play in the attacking half he has gone on to establish himself as one of the best full-backs in the game.
He is an integral part of the Bayern Munich first-team but his long-term future is not certain. His contract runs out at the end of the season and he could end up leaving the German giants as a free agent. Currently, he is not in talks with the club over a new deal but that possibility hasn’t been ruled out yet.
Manchester United keen on signing Alphonso Davies
For now, top clubs are closely monitoring his situation and they could look to make the most out of it. Manchester United are one of the clubs interested in the Canadian international. The Red Devils have two quality left-backs in Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw but both have major fitness concerns.
They haven’t been able to stay fit for long periods of time which has forced Erik ten Hag to field Diogo Dalot on the opposite flank. They want to bring in a new left-back and Davies is their most desired transfer target. The Red Devils have already gathered information regarding a potential transfer but they are aware of the fact that their chances of signing him are very slim.
Real Madrid are considered to be favourites for his signature if he ends up leaving Bayern upon the expiry of his contract. Los Blancos seek a new left-back. While Ferland Mendy has done wonders for them, they won’t mind bringing Davies in for free as he can help them in the short as well as the long run.
