Davies’ contract expires in 2025, potentially allowing Real Madrid to secure him from Bayern at a reasonable price. If Bayern refuses to sell him next summer, they risk losing him as a free agent.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Alphonso Davies is drawing interest from Real Madrid.
However, the Merengues must be cautious of competition from Chelsea in the pursuit of the 23-year-old Bayern Munich left-back, as the West London club is also in the market for a left-back.
The Twist and Turns of Alphonso Davies Story at Munich
Alphonso Davies has excelled for Bayern Munich since his arrival from Canada in January 2019.
This is particularly impressive considering he was initially a wide attacker before being converted into a left-back by Hansi Flick, a move that has paid off handsomely.
While he still plays a more advanced role for Canada, Davies has become a top-notch left-back for Bayern Munich.
The 23-year-old has made 180 appearances for the Bundesliga champions, contributing nine goals and 28 assists. His development has not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from several top clubs.
Alphono Davies Demand in the Market
Numerous reports have consistently linked Alphonso Davies with a move to Real Madrid for several months.
However, he is also a target for several Premier League giants, including Liverpool and Manchester City.
Despite this, Chelsea poses the biggest threat to Real Madrid in the race for the Bayern Munich full-back.
Real Madrid’s interest in Davies is logical, as they seek a left-back for the upcoming summer transfer window, with Ferland Mendy’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu uncertain.
Real Madrid is willing to part ways with either Fran Garcia or Ferland Mendy and sees the 23-year-old Canadian international as the top choice to replace him.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is also in need of a left-back due to uncertainties surrounding Marc Cucurella and Ian Maatsen.
They are prepared to sell Cucurella and Maatsen wants a permanent move to Borussia Dortmund, making Davies a viable target for them.
With Chelsea posing a significant threat to Real Madrid, the competition for Davies will intensify in the summer transfer window.
It remains to be seen if Real Madrid can outmaneuver the West London club for his signature.
