La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid have reportedly sealed an agreement with Alphonso Davies over a possible move this summer.
According to a report by Spanish journalist Alfredo Matilla, Alphonso Davies might soon become a Real Madrid player. The 23-year-old has agreed to personal terms with Los Blancos ahead of a possible move in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Bayern Munich full-back is also a target for Chelsea.
The Alphonso Davies Transformation
Alphonso Davies’s transformation from a promising young winger to a boisterous full-back has been incredible. He blossomed into a left-back under Hansi Flick and has not looked back since then. And the Canadian international has become a left-sided mainstay for his club and country.
The 23-year-old has turned out 180 times thus far for Bayern Munich, chipping in with nine goals and 28 assists. But Davies’s long-term future at the Allianz Arena is up in the air, as he has entered the final 18 months of his contract. Such a situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs.
A Man in Demand
Widespread reports have heavily linked the young full-back with Real Madrid for several months. But the Merengues face stiff competition from many Premier League bigwigs for Alphonso Davies, with Chelsea posing the greatest threat to Los Blancos’ hopes of securing his services.
Real Madrid’s interest in Davies is understandable, considering Ferland Mendy has blown hot and cold in the last few years. In addition, Fran Garcia has not proven his credentials to be the first-choice left-back. So, it behoves Real Madrid to invest in a top-class left-back, and they have sealed an agreement on personal terms with Davies.
As for Chelsea, the West London club can do with a left-back, with Marc Cucurella and Ian Maatsen facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. In addition, Ben Chilwell has struggled with fitness issues in the last few seasons. So, Chelsea must invest in a left-back, with Alphonso Davies emerging as a viable target.
But with Real Madrid already having an agreement on personal terms, Chelsea might be in a losing battle. However, the Merengues are yet to finalise a transfer fee with Bayern Munich, which can give the other suitors a window of opportunity to pounce.
