Manchester United continue to be linked with a move for 24-year-old Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Florian Plettenberg, Alphonso Davies is a dream target for Manchester United, and they are hoping to get a deal done. The 24-year-old could be signed for a nominal price in January because of his contract situation.
The Canadian international defender will be a free agent in the summer of 2025, and he has not signed an extension with Bayern Munich yet. The Bundesliga club could look to sell him for a knockdown price in January or lose him as a free agent in the summer. It would make sense for them to cash in on the player in January for a reasonable amount of money.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get the deal done. The 24-year-old defender is on the radar of Spanish giants Real Madrid as well. It will be interesting to see what the player decides. He could be tempted to join one of the biggest clubs in the world, and Real Madrid will certainly be an attractive destination for him.
Los Blancos could provide him with the chance to push for league titles and UEFA Champions League trophies regularly. While Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world as well, they are not quite at the level to compete with the European elite regularly.
Manchester United need a quality left-back
Manchester United have struggled in the absence of a quality left back over the last few months. Luke Shaw has had his fair share of injury problems, and the Red Devils need a more reliable option at their disposal. Tyrell Malacia has struggled with injuries as well.
It will be interesting to see if they can convince the player to join them. If they can secure a pre-contract agreement with the player ahead of a free transfer in the summer, the deal could look like a masterstroke. Alternatively, they could look to sign the player in January for a reasonable amount of money. It would help them improve during the second half of the season.
