Real Madrid’s interest in Alphonso Davies seems to be waning, as per reports from Spanish media outlets. Despite being a long-standing target for Los Blancos, it appears that efforts to secure a deal for Davies have hit a standstill. Fabrizio Romano revealed that Real Madrid has been quietly exploring the possibility of signing Davies since at least October 2023, but so far, no concrete progress has been made.
The stagnation in negotiations is attributed to Davies’ indecision regarding Bayern Munich’s final contract offer, which has been on the table for some time. Davies and his representatives were displeased with the ultimatum imposed by Bayern, but there have been minimal updates on the situation since then.
Davies’ current contract with Bayern expires in 2025, prompting the club to consider offloading him this summer if he doesn’t agree to new terms. Real Madrid has signaled their willingness to pay €50 million for his services, but they are unwilling to exceed that amount. Despite their interest and Davies’ openness to a move, Real Madrid is prepared to exercise patience and wait another year if necessary.
However, recent developments suggest that Real Madrid’s priorities have shifted for the upcoming transfer window. Reports from Relevo indicate that the club’s new focus is on bolstering their center-back position. This shift follows the announcement of captain Nacho Fernandez’s departure after over two decades with the club. With Carlo Ancelotti reportedly satisfied with Ferland Mendy’s performances at left-back, Real Madrid has redirected their attention to the center-back market.
Among their targets is Lille prodigy Leny Yoro, who has attracted interest from Premier League clubs as well. Real Madrid considers Yoro their primary target, and if they manage to secure his signature, they may postpone their pursuit of Davies until the following year. The club is confident that Davies will not extend his contract with Bayern, allowing them to revisit the possibility of signing him in the future.
