Real Madrid “confident” of Alphonso Davies transfer

Real Madrid have been linked with Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies for over a year now, and according to Spanish outlet Relevo, they’ve grown very confident of getting a deal done in the near future.

Apparently, at Real, they’re not completely satisfied with any of the options on the left defensive flank, with Ferland Mendy frequently injured and Fran Garcia not quite up to the standards required for a regular starter, while other options, such as Nacho and Eduardo Camavinga, simply aren’t designated left-backs. Davies is therefore the player Real want the most, Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe aside, of course.

The 23-year-old Canada international is under contract with Bayern until 2025, and he has apparently refused all offers of a new deal so far. If that’s still the case at the end of this season, the Bavarians will have to decide whether to allow him to leave for a reasonable fee, or risk losing his services a year later without compensation.
