Real Madrid are looking to capitalise on the turmoil at Bayern Munich by swooping in on full-back Alphonso Davies, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The 23-year-old is contracted to the Bavarians until 2025 but, amidst the poor form of Thomas Tuchel’s side, is stalling on a new contract and could leave on a free transfer next summer if he doesn’t extend his deal.
Sky Sports Germany reported earlier in the week that a meeting took place between Christoph Freund, Bayern’s sporting director, and Davies’ agent, while German newspaper Bild reported that while the meeting was cordial, it now appears that the most likely outcome is that Davies leaves for Spain rather than extend his spell at the Bundesliga champions. Personal terms are said to have been agreed, too.
Madrid are willing to part with €50 million for the Canada international, while Chelsea are also said to be interested in the defender, who has played 17 times this season. Davies fits the bill for the kind of player the Blues are trying to sign, which is players under the age of 25 with experience at the highest level.
Manchester City have also been linked with a move for the Canadian.
