Bayern Munich make €50m Alphonso Davies decision amid Real Madrid links

For a while, it has looked like Real Madrid's plan has been to sign Alphonso Davies as a free agent next summer, when his contract with Bayern Munich is set to run out. The improved performances and fitness of Ferland Mendy have given Carlo Ancelotti's side a major boost and they are in a position where they can afford to wait for the Canadian international.

The same cannot be said for Bayern Munich though. They have not been successful in agreeing a contract extension with Davies so far and the club surely won't want to see one of their most high-profile names leave as a free agent.

As reported by AS, according to reports in the German press, Bayern Munich's board has hinted that, given the impossibility of renewing Davies' contract, they prefer to transfer him this summer and collect a fee rather than see him leave for free in 2025. The Bundesliga club want a figure around €50 million for the move but his signing could be closed at around €30 million.

That would be a very realistic, perhaps even a bargain, transfer fee for one of Europe's most talented left-backs. It remains to be seen how Real Madrid approach the situation.

It is likely that Real Madrid would have ideally wanted to wait a year to bring in Davies. But now, they might need to take action.

Clubs from around Europe are expected to be interested in signing Davies, especially for that kind of transfer fee. But a lot will depend on the player as well.

Of course, Davies could decide to stay put for another season and run down his contract, like Mbappe did at PSG last season. So, let's see how this situation transpires over the coming weeks.
