Real Madrid approach Bayern Munich for Alphonso Davies

Real Madrid recently approached Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich over a possible move for 22-year-old full-back Alphonso Davies.
According to a report by Spanish outlet MARCA, Alphonso Davies is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The 22-year-old full-back is open to leaving Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window. And Los Blancos recently approached the Bundesliga champions over a possible deal for him.

Alphonso Davies has come leaps and bounds since joining Bayern Munich from Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2019. A budding winger as a teenager, he still plays an advanced role for the Canadian national side. But at Bayern Munich, he has been a marauding left-back and one of the best full-backs in the Bundesliga.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old has seen his market value soar to €70 million. And he has enjoyed a solid 2022/23 season, chipping in with three goals and eight assists in 38 appearances. But Davies faces an uncertain future at Bayern Munich in the wake of recent comments by his agent. And Real Madrid will look to prise him away from the Bundesliga club in the summer transfer window.

Davies has been on Real Madrid’s radar for a long time. The Merengues have been monitoring his progress closely for several years. But the opportunity to secure his services has never presented itself before this summer. And the youngster has quickly become the priority target for Real Madrid.

The interest in the Bayern Munich left-back has cropped up due to Ferland Mendy’s inconsistent displays. The Frenchman’s performance levels have dipped in the last few years. In addition, fitness issues have plagued him throughout his stint with Real Madrid. And while Los Blancos will re-sign Fran Garcia this summer, they want another left-back.

Davies is thus a viable target for Real Madrid. And the Spanish giants have submitted an enquiry to Bayern Munich for the 22-year-old full-back. But it is unclear if the Bundesliga champions are ready to part ways with the Canadian international, despite his agent’s comments.

Recent reports have claimed that Davies is keen on joining Real Madrid. And with Los Blancos making the first move to sign him from Bayern Munich, they might pick up the pace to prise him away from the Bundesliga club.
