Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, with Manchester United keen on securing his signature.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Manchester United are increasingly unlikely to sign 24-year-old Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies. The player is on the radar of Real Madrid as well, and it seems that the reigning La Liga champions could be the front-runners to secure his signature now.
The Canadian international is reportedly holding out for £240,000-a-week wages. However, Manchester United are willing to pay that kind of money for the player. Davies will be a free agent in the summer of 2025, and he will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs in January.
Signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be exceptional business. However, his wage demands are considered too high. Manchester United need to sign a quality left-back in the coming months.
Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have been quite underwhelming for the Premier League heavyweights, and their availability remains a concern as well. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United decide to move on to other targets.
Real Madrid keen on Davies
Real Madrid are looking to sign a quality left-back as well, and it remains to be seen whether they are ready to pay him lucrative wages. Alphonso Davies has proven himself in the Bundesliga over the years, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League and La Liga.
He will want to join a big club capable of winning major trophies, and a move to Manchester United or Real Madrid will be quite attractive for him. However, the reigning La Liga champions are the favourites to secure his services.
Both clubs could provide him with the platform to push for trophies in the coming seasons. Real Madrid and Manchester United are two of the biggest clubs in the world, and it will be interesting to see where the Canadian international ends up. He is entering his peak years, and the aforementioned bigwigs would get to enjoy his best years if they can get a deal done.
