It is already one of the soap operas of the summer transfer window. At the end of an average season with Bayern Munich, Alphonso Davies (23 years old) has two options on the table: extend with the Bavarian club, with which he is still linked for another year, or leave for another club. According to information from Bild, new negotiations failed to reach an agreement on a contract renewal. Max Eberl, sporting director of the German club, is inflexible and does not want to accept the player’s salary demands. Alphonso Davies therefore turns to Real Madrid.
For months, Casa Blanca has been the favorite to host the Canadian. To buy out his last year of contract, Bayern Munich is demanding 50 million euros from the Madrid club. It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid, which excels in the art of recovering players at the end of their contract, will be ready to spend as much on the left-back.
