Bundesliga outfit tightens grip on Real Madrid target’s future | OneFootball

According to a recent report from SPORT, Bayern Munich appear to be making significant strides in securing the future of Alphonso Davies, a player who has been closely linked with Real Madrid.

It is known that the Canadian full-back’s contract situation is inching closer to a resolution after months of speculation surrounding his next move.

As things stand, Davies’ current contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire in June 2025. Hence, from January 1, 2025, he will be free to negotiate with other clubs, opening up a window of opportunity for potential suitors.

Among the interested parties are three prominent teams: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. Bayern are working hard to convince the player to stay, while Real Madrid have long been targeting him as a key reinforcement for the left-back position.

A lot has changed

Earlier this year, many believed Davies was destined to join Real Madrid. However, German media reports suggested that his move to the Spanish capital was far from certain.

One of the key points of contention was Bayern’s ultimatum to Davies last summer, coupled with Real Madrid’s reluctance to pay the €40 million demanded for a player with just one year left on his contract.

This hesitation reportedly left Davies questioning how much Real Madrid truly valued him. Fast forward to the present, and the situation has evolved significantly.

Real Madrid are observing everything

While Real Madrid maintain strong communication with Davies and his representatives, Bayern have intensified their efforts to renew his contract.

Recent reports suggest Bayern have made notable progress in December, with the player reportedly softening his salary demands, which had previously been a major stumbling block in negotiations.

The coming weeks will be decisive in determining Davies’ future. Whether Bayern’s renewed optimism leads to a successful contract extension or serves as a negotiating tactic to drive up interest from Real Madrid remains to be seen.

For now, the race to secure the services of the Canadian star remains wide open, with both clubs working tirelessly to win his signature.
