Alphonso Davies is a step closer to joining Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, with talks over a new contract not progressing well.
According to a report by Spanish outlet AS, Alphonso Davies is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues are hopeful of securing the services of the Bayern Munich full-back, whose talks to sign a new contract are not progressing well. Meanwhile, the Bavarian giants want around €50 million to part ways with the 23-year-old in the summer transfer window.
The rise and rise of Alphonso Davies
Alphonso Davies has been an exceptional performer since joining Bayern Munich from Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2019. A pacy winger when he arrived at the Allianz Arena, he has transformed into a marauding full-back in the last half a decade, although he still reprises a more advanced role for his national team.
The Canadian international has turned out nearly 200 times thus far for Bayern Munich, chipping in with 11 goals and 31 assists. However, Davies faces an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena, as he will enter the final year of his contract on July 1. The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
A big move beckons?
Many Premier League bigwigs are keen on securing Alphonso Davies’s services in the summer transfer window. However, they will likely lose the race to sign the 23-year-old Bayern Munich full-back, whose preferred destination is Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s interest in Alphonso Davies is understandable. The Merengues have been keen on signing a left-back in the last 12 months. However, Ferland Mendy’s consistency has forced Real Madrid to have second thoughts about signing the Bayern Munich wide man in the summer transfer window.
However, the latest update has revealed that Real Madrid might have edged a step closer to signing the 23-year-old, whose talks with Bayern Munich over a new deal are not progressing. But the price tag might be an issue, with the Bundesliga giants demanding around €50 million to part ways with him.
Real Madrid would prefer to cough up €10-15 million less than the asking price. However, with Davies yet to agree to a new contract, they have inched closer to securing his services in the summer transfer window.
