Bayern Munich will demand €70 million to part ways with 23-year-old Canadian international Alphonso Davies, a target for Real Madrid.
According to BILD, as relayed by MARCA, Alphonso Davies is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. But Bayern Munich will not let the 23-year-old depart from the Allianz Arena without recouping a big-money transfer fee. The Bundesliga champions want €70 million to part ways with him.
Alphonso Davies and his Transformation
Alphonso Davies has made massive strides since joining Bayern Munich from Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2019. A budding winger half a decade ago, he has transformed into a marauding left-back. In addition, the Canadian international has won multiple trophies with Die Roten, including the treble in the 2019/20 season.
The 23-year-old has turned out 181 times thus far for Bayern Munich, chipping in with nine goals and 28 assists. But Davies faces an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena after entering the final 18 months of his contract. Such a situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs.
Many Premier League bigwigs, including Liverpool, are keen on signing the Canadian international. But Real Madrid might be his next destination, with Los Blancos holding a long-standing interest in him. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will demand a premium to part ways with him, slapping a price tag of €70 million on him.
Real Madrid Want Davies
Real Madrid’s interest in Alphonso Davies stems from the inconsistencies of Ferland Mendy in the last few seasons. While the Frenchman is a solid defender, he is not proficient in the final third. Meanwhile, Fran Garcia is not good enough to be the undisputed first-choice left-back for Real Madrid.
So, Davies is a viable target for Real Madrid, who will look to make him the club’s long-term first-choice left-back. But Bayern Munich’s demands of selling the 23-year-old for €70 million might pose a problem for Los Blancos, with recent reports claiming they will not break the bank to secure his services.
€70 million does seem like an excessive price tag, considering Davies will enter the final year of his contract in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see if they can negotiate the transfer fee to an acceptable sum in the coming months.
