Real Madrid have big plans for the summer transfer window. Worldwide, the reports linking Kylian Mbappe with a move to Santiago Bernabeu are rife. However, one name who may be slipping under the surface is Alphonso Davies. The Canada international is wanted by Carlo Ancelotti and his Bayern contract runs out in the summer of 2025.
Real Madrid raise offer for Bayern Munich wantaway Alphonso Davies
According to a report by Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are prepared to raise their offer to €50m (£42.79m) to land Alphonso Davies. This is a significant increase from Real Madrid's last offer, which Bayern Munich deemed to be too small.
This certainly shows the intent from Real Madrid to bring in Davies and it's clear to see why. He is an excellent option for the left-hand side of their defence. Since this is the flank which Kylian Mbappe could also operate on, the speed of Real Madrid's left-side next season could be absolutely impeccable and frightening for the rest of Europe.
From Davies' perspective, he is thought to push for a move away from Bayern Munich. Sky Sports Germany claim that his heart rests elsewhere and he does not want to stick in Munich. Bayern have accepted this and they are chasing the former Real Madrid star Theo Hernandez as their replacement for Davies, so it looks good for Carlo Ancelotti.
Davies is one of the fastest players in the world and ageing at 23 years old, has great experience in Europe. As a fine Canadian export, the defender has conquered Europe and made his home country proud, watching him develop into one of the best defenders in the world at Bayern Munich. Now, though, he is ready for his next challenge, with the future unclear at the Bundesliga outfit.
