After securing the star signing of Kylian Mbappé accompanied by the Brazilian promise, Endrick, the real Madrid is at a new turning point in its sporting planning.
Alphonso Davies, the 23-year-old Canadian full-back, is the only name still on the table at the Bernabéu. Although the club considers its squad to be practically complete, it has not ruled out the possibility of another signing if a clearly advantageous opportunity arises. This situation has become more complex in recent hours due to an unexpected change in Bayern Munich’s stance regarding Davies.
Until recently, Real Madrid’s roadmap regarding Davies was clearly defined and was to wait until 2025, when the player can leave Bayern Munich for free at the end of his contract. This strategy, although patient, was the most beneficial from an economic point of view, as it allowed the club to sign one of the best left-backs in the world at no cost.
However, the recent news from Germany has upset the plans in Madrid. Bayern Munich’s board, aware of the difficulty of renewing Davies’ contract, has decided to put him on the market this summer, with the intention of obtaining a financial benefit before letting him leave for free in 2025. This change of position comes after several failed attempts to renew, in which the Bavarian club offered up to 14 million euros per season to the player.
With Davies now on the market, Real Madrid are faced with a dilemma. While the Canadian has already expressed his desire to wear the white shirt in 2025, the possibility of other European clubs submitting attractive offers during the rest of August adds pressure to Florentino Perez’s team.
Bayern have set a asking price of 50 million euros, a considerable but negotiable figure. In fact, it is estimated that the deal could be closed for an amount close to 30 million euros
, a bargain considering the quality and youth of the player.
However, Real Madrid are in a strong position in this negotiation. The decision now lies with the club, which must assess whether it is worth bringing forward Davies’ arrival and ensuring his immediate incorporation, or maintaining the commitment to wait until 2025 in the confidence that the player will keep his word to reject other offers.
The risk of waiting is obvious. If Real Madrid do not act now, other clubs could tempt Davies with offers that could divert his attention from the Bernabeu. In addition, Bayern Munich could put pressure on the player by threatening to relegate him to the bench if his exit does not materialise this summer, which could influence his performance and desire to wait until 2025.
Regardless of what happens with Davies, Real Madrid have already begun talks over a new contract with Ferland Mendy, whose contract also expires in 2025. The 28-year-old Frenchman is a key player in Carlo Ancelotti’s defensive scheme, and his renewal is a priority for the club, without this affecting the possible arrival of Davies.
If both players share a squad in the future, the main loser would be Fran García, who would lose his role in the team. However, the possibility of having a reinforced defence with two full-backs of the calibre of Mendy and Davies would be a significant qualitative leap for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are facing a momentous decision in the coming days. The turnaround in Alphonso Davies’ situation forces the club to reconsider its initial strategy and consider the possibility of negotiating with Bayern Munich to secure the signing of the Canadian full-back. While patience could be rewarded in 2025, the reality of the market and pressure from other clubs could precipitate an immediate decision. In any case, the future of the Madrid defence could depend on the decisions made in the coming days, with Davies as a key piece in this sporting chess game.
