Real Madrid will not cough up “crazy money” to sign Alphonso Davies from Bundesliga club Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
According to reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Alphonso Davies is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues view the 23-year-old as the long-term solution for the left-back spot. But they will not “pay crazy money” to sign him from Bundesliga club Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
The Alphonso Davies Story
Alphonso Davies has had an inspirational journey thus far in his career. The son of refugee parents, the Canadian international rose in prominence during his stint with the Vancouver Whitecaps before arriving in Europe by joining Bayern Munich in January 2019. Since then, he has come leaps and bounds at the Bundesliga club.
The 23-year-old has won multiple trophies with Bayern Munich, including the treble in the 2019/20 season. He has established himself as one of the best left-backs in the Bundesliga in the last half a decade. Davies has turned out 180 times thus far for the Bavarian giants, chipping in with nine goals and 28 assists.
Meanwhile, the player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Many Premier League bigwigs have shown interest in the Bayern Munich wide man. But his next destination will likely be Real Madrid.
Madrid Calling?
Recent reports have claimed that personal terms will not be an issue for Real Madrid and Alphonso Davies. The Merengues hold a long-standing interest in the 23-year-old full-back but have never pulled the trigger. However, amid the inconsistencies of Ferland Mendy, Real Madrid can do with a long-term replacement.
Davies has thus emerged as a viable target for Real Madrid heading into the summer transfer window. But they will not break the bank to sign him from Bayern Munich. That makes sense, considering the Canadian international will have a year left on his contract with the Bundesliga champions this summer.
It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can land Davies for an acceptable price in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will likely look to recoup as much as they can from the departure of the 23-year-old.
