TOP STORY: Real Madrid, Man City eye Davies

Real Madrid and Manchester City are interested in signing Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies, according to Sky Sports Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg.

The 22-year-old Canada international is understood to be a transfer target for the LaLiga side, but City director of football Txiki Begiristain is reportedly keen on Davies at the Etihad Stadium.

City manager Pep Guardiola has been without a permanent left-back this season, having used Bernardo Silva in that position after Joao Cancelo was sent out on loan to Bayern.

Any move for Davies could be difficult, though, with the Bundesliga side looking to keep hold of him. He has has remained a key player for them since joining from MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018, while contributing to nine goals across all competitions this season

Amid interest from across Europe, the Allianz Arena hierarchy are planning to hold contract talks that would extend his stay in Germany beyond the summer of 2025.
