Real Madrid appears to be shifting their focus regarding Alphonso Davies, as the talented Canadian full-back is anticipated to sign a new contract with Bayern Munich soon.
Real Madrid to give up on Davies's deal
Interest in bringing Davies to Santiago Bernabeu has been a hot topic of speculation for quite some time, particularly as the 24-year-old approaches the final year of his current agreement at the Allianz Arena, opening up the prospect of free agency. However, it seems that Real Madrid is now preparing to explore other options.
There were discussions about Davies potentially pursuing a new opportunity with the Spanish giants, but Bayern is determined to retain him and has made efforts to keep him in Germany. They have presented him with a new contract offer.
Recent developments in Germany and Spain have clarified the positions of Davies and Bayern Munich's leadership regarding his future. The situation surrounding the left-back is precarious, with just a slight gap separating the two sides according to various sources.
Reports indicate that the financial difference between Bayern Munich's offer and that of Real Madrid is a mere 2 million euros. The executives, led by the current president of the Madrid club, firmly believe that if Davies is genuinely committed to joining Real Madrid, he will overlook the financial discrepancies and finalize his move to the Spanish powerhouse in 2025.
Reports from AS suggest that Real Madrid has recognized the likelihood of securing Davies is diminishing, as Bayern is nearing an agreement to renew his contract.
The responsibility for the transfer rests squarely on Alphonso Davies. As long as the doors of Santiago Bernabéu remain open, he must recognize the significance of this opportunity. If he chooses to reject the offer of two million euros less than what Bayern Munich is willing to pay he risks permanently closing off his chance to join the Madrid locker room.
While awaiting the North American fullback's decision, Florentino Pérez has expressed interest in acquiring Miguel Gutiérrez, a player considered well-suited for the club.
