The 23-year-old Canadian left-back has been under Real Madrid’s notice for some time, as revealed by Diario AS. The Spanish powerhouses are eager to strengthen a weak spot in their roster. The promising defender is being steadily pursued by the Blancos, as evidenced by recent developments.
Over the past two weeks, the conversation with his agent, Nedal Huoseh, has become more intense. A year before his current contract with the Bavarian club expires, in the summer of 2024, Davies looks ready to depart Bayern Munich and don the recognisable white shirt. Real Madrid has good reason to be optimistic considering Davies’ willingness to relocate.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, has made several unsuccessful attempts to win his renewal. They just signed 29-year-old left-back Raphael Guerreiro from Borussia Dortmund, who played seven seasons for the Black and Yellow, in an attempt to reduce the danger. Guerreiro signed a contract with Bayern last summer that will extend until 2026 after his contract with Dortmund expired. Though his full recovery appears likely, his inability to push Davies for the starting spot has been hampered by ongoing fitness difficulties.
Rather than let Davies walk away free in 2025, the German champions are willing to negotiate next summer after realising the circumstances. Sport BILD, a typically reliable source on the Bundesliga’s biggest clubs, revealed that Bayern has placed a €50 million price tag for Davies’ exit.
Real Madrid sees this valuation as a good place to start, even though they were initially hesitant to pay that amount. The CEO of FC Bayern since May of this year, Jan-Christian Dreesen, will bargain to get the most out of the transfer money. Harry Kane, the famous striker, was recently signed, and Dreesen was instrumental in making that happen.
English teams are also quite interested in signing Davies, especially Manchester City and Chelsea. Real Madrid may not be able to match the Premier League’s financial might, but the player and his agency know that they will put in a serious bid for him. It will be important to know the player’s intentions, and at Valdebebas, there is a sense that Davies wants to be involved in the Madrid effort.
Huoseh is more than just an agent; the Davies family has known him since they moved to Edmonton, Canada, when Alphonso was only five years old.
Huoseh has made no secret of his passion for Real Madrid. He publicly stated his preference in a recent interview with Fabrizio Romano: “I don’t want to disparage Bayern, but Real Madrid with their 14 Champions… That team has always been a favourite of mine, so seeing that a player you represent is on their radar makes you happy.”
In a situation where Camavinga is Los Blancos coach Carlo Ancelotti’s most dependable option despite the Frenchman’s minimal experience in that capacity, neither Ferland Mendy nor Fran García have been able to allay fears. Davies would be a perfect match in this situation, adding to the physical strength of a club that is becoming more and more dominant in the game’s athletic facets.
Now that everything seems to be coming together, Davies is nearer Real Madrid than he was a few months ago. But in the realm of football, history has shown us that the winning side cannot be declared until the contract is signed and dried.
