Reports suggest that Alphonso Davies’ move to Real Madrid is on the verge of completion, with a deadline now officially announced by Florentino.
Real Madrid appears to have already secured the high-profile signing of Kylian Mbappé from PSG this summer, and now their focus is on acquiring Bayern Munich's left-back, Alphonso Davies.
Real Madrid appears to have already secured the high-profile signing of Kylian Mbappé from PSG this summer, and now their focus is on acquiring Bayern Munich’s left-back, Alphonso Davies.
Earlier in the season, Davies seemed to be the primary transfer target for Real Madrid, with more speculation surrounding the Bayern star compared to the long-standing interest in Mbappé.
This shift in focus could be attributed to Madrid’s understanding that Mbappé would make his decision independently, without external influence. Hence, they redirected their resources towards a player who had not previously rejected them, avoiding investing in a futile pursuit.
Real Madrid has endeavored to make Davies feel valued in the Spanish capital, offering him a fresh challenge away from Bayern’s current issues.
According to a report by MARCA’s chief José Félix Díaz, the transfer of Alphonso Davies to Real Madrid is imminent, with Bayern Munich setting April as the deadline for negotiations.
If Davies does not extend his contract with Bayern by April, the club will start negotiating with other teams to avoid losing one of their prized assets for free.
Davies has expressed his desire to join Real Madrid for some time, making them the frontrunners in the race to sign the Canadian international.
As no other clubs have been strongly linked to the 23-year-old defender, Real Madrid is in a favorable position to secure his signature.
A potential transfer coup of Mbappé and Davies would undoubtedly make Real Madrid the winners of the summer 2024 transfer window. Additionally, the club is reportedly pursuing other promising talents such as Leny Yoro from Lille and Miguel Gutierrez from Girona.
Over the past three transfer windows, Real Madrid has made several high-profile signings, including Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Antonio Rüdiger, Jude Bellingham, and Arda Güler.
