In the latest Clasico match against Barcelona, Real Madrid’s defensive shortcomings were evident as the Men in White gave up not one, but four goals.
Barcelona wingers like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha launched an offensive assault that was too much for fullbacks in particular to handle.
The lackluster showing against Barcelona was sufficient to demonstrate how desperately Real Madrid needs defensive reinforcements.
Alphonso Davies is getting closer to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is still dedicated to adding new players in the summer, even though they have all but ruled out signing any in January.
In light of this, a recent SportBILD report (via SPORT) indicates that Real Madrid is getting closer to acquiring one of their top defensive targets, Alphonso Davies.
According to the article, Davies is just one step away from making up his mind to leave Bayern Munich and is getting closer to doing so every day.
Davies’ agents have already communicated with Real Madrid, but it seems the Blancos have stepped up their efforts in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, Davies’ attempt to be renewed by Bayern has all but failed, and it is quite doubtful that the defender would stay in Bavaria.
There were other clubs interested in Davies besides Real Madrid. For example, Manchester United was prepared to pay the Canadian’s salary demands, but the player wasn’t persuaded by their intentions.
Another team interested in Davies was Barcelona. Even if the Catalans are still in the running, Real Madrid is currently the overwhelming favorite.
The Spanish powerhouses are certain they can complete the acquisition as quickly as possible because of their growing connections.
