Real Madrid have been preparing the arrival of Alphonso Davies for several months now, but Bayern are demanding a lot of money for their powerful Canadian left-back.

In addition to finalizing the XXL arrival of Kylian Mbappé (as a free player after his departure at the end of his contract from PSG), Real Madrid is working behind the scenes to recruit Alphonso Davies, Bayern’s left back. The Canadian international is in fact at the end of his contract in 2025 and the time is ideal for the two clubs to agree on a transfer.

If the Madrid leaders have already agreed on the future contract of the 22-year-old player, they only intend to spend 40 million euros, where Bayern has set Davies’ starting price at 60. The former Vancouver player had been paid 14 million euros in January 2019 from the MLS franchise.

Mendy second most expensive defender

At almost €60 million, Alphonso Davies would enter the top 10 of the most expensive recruits in the history of Casa Blanca but would also become the most expensive defender in history ahead of Éder Militao, recruited from FC Porto for €50 million. €. Ferland Mendy cost €48 million.

Perhaps destabilized by Real’s interest, the native of Ghana (of Liberian parents) is less spectacular on his left side. He scored one goal and gave three assists in 29 matches in all competitions, he who exploded during the 2019-2020 season, until the Champions League final won by Bayern against PSG.
