Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies has been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club in recent months.
According to a report from Spanish publication AS, Alphonso Davies the Manchester United target has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid.
In addition, a report by Mundo Deportivo has claimed that Manchester United and Real Madrid will face competition from the latter’s bitter rivals Barcelona as well.
The development will come as a major blow for Manchester United, who were hoping to sign him next year. The Red Devils need to bring in a quality left-back, and the 23-year-old Canadian international would have been a quality acquisition.
Davies has proven himself in the Bundesliga, and he has the quality to thrive in La Liga as well. He could prove to be a quality long-term addition for Real Madrid if they can get the deal done. The reigning La Liga champions need to find a quality long-term left-back option.
The 23-year-old is not only a reliable defender, but he is also exceptional going forward, and he would add a new dimension to the Real Madrid attack. He could form a lethal partnership with Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.
Barcelona and Manchester United keen on Davies
Barcelona need a reliable left-back as well. They have not been able to bring in a world-class player in that position since the departure of Jordi Alba. It will be interesting to see if they can beat Real Madrid to his signature. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and competing with Real Madrid could prove to be difficult, considering the player’s high wage demands.
Meanwhile, Manchester United need to sort out their problems in the left-back department as well. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have had their share of injury problems, and they will need to be replaced.
Manchester United will be hoping to fight for major trophies, and they need to sort out the major weaknesses in their side. Improving their defensive unit should be one of their priorities. They have brought in some quality central defenders this summer, and it will be interesting to see if they can improve the full-back areas now.
