For several months, it looked like Alphonso Davies would move to Real Madrid in July this year. However, with Bayern Munich making considerable progress, that prospect is now fading into the distance.
Sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed talks with Davies this week, while manager Vincent Kompany has spoken of how important he is to their plans. SkySports DE journalist Florian Plettenberg said earlier this week that Davies was close to signing a new contract with Bayern and notes that Eberl will try to finalize it this week, although there are still some details to be worked out.

The permanence of the 23-year-old left back in Bavaria would leave Los Blancos in an interesting situation. Ferand Mendy has extended his contract, while Fran García has a contract until 2026. However, Real Madrid have been looking for a new long-term answer in the position for some time, as Mendy approaches his thirties, amid doubts about its performance. , although not by Carlo Ancelotti.
