Liverpool are ready to take their chances in hijacking the Alphonso Davies transfer saga as the Bayern Munich star is set to be available on a free transfer.
According to Caught Offside, Liverpool are threatening to hijack the Alphonso Davies transfer, with Real Madrid and Manchester United seen as credible contenders. The Canadian full-back is likely to leave Bayern Munich next summer as there are issues with his contract situation.
Alphonso Davies is set to become one of the biggest transfer stories of next summer, as the left-back is potentially available on a free transfer then. Despite earlier reports that Bayern Munich had made headway in contract talks, there’s a visible rift that has left the Canadian angry at the Bavarians.
Hence, the chances of Davies leaving Bayern Munich on a free transfer have exponentially increased over the last few weeks. Once he does decide to exit the club, the Canadian will have no shortages of offers from top clubs, with Real Madrid supremo Florentino Perez already working on a deal to sign him.
Real Madrid is the favourites to sign Davies, as they have been reportedly working in the background to lure the Canadian to the Bernabeu. Meanwhile, Manchester United have fears of losing in the chase, but they are still a compelling contendor to sign the free agent.
Real Madrid considers Davies a visible upgrade over Fran Garcia and Ferland Mendy, as his availability on a free transfer is the biggest factor. Manchester United, on the other hand, have a big problem at left-back with the constant fitness issues with Luke Shaw, as Davies will be a massive coup for them.
Liverpool planning to hijack Alphonso Davies’s deal
Liverpool are also part of the chasing pack, albeit being the latest entrant in the hunt. The Merseysiders are eager to sign a top-draw left-back with concerns over Andy Robertson’s performances. They also have a 28-year-old Kostas Tsimikas, who may not be at the absolute level to start for the club every week.
Stature-wise, Liverpool are in a good position to dream about a signing like Davies, but there are concerns about the timing of their entry in the chase. In the recent past, Liverpool have often lost out on targets due to their lateness in pursuing a said player, with the pursuit of Moises Caicedo one of the prime examples. Fans will surely hope that is not the case in the Davies chase, as Liverpool are seen as contenders.
