Real Madrid and Bayern Munich Repeat History with Alphonso Davies Verbal Agreement
In a case reminiscent of previous transfers involving Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, Florentino Pérez has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with another star player from the German club. According to The Athletic, the Spanish giants and Alphonso Davies have agreed for the 23-year-old left back to join Real Madrid.
There are two potential scenarios in the agreement: Davies could move to Madrid this summer for a fee below his market value of 70 million euros, or he could make the switch in 2025 once his contract with Bayern expires. This situation mirrors previous transfers like Toni Kroos, who moved from Munich to Madrid for a reduced fee with one year left on his contract, and David Alaba, who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer.
While Florentino Pérez has been tracking Davies for some time, the priority was initially securing the signing of Kylian Mbappé before pursuing the Canadian left back. According to renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, there are no personal issues between Davies and Real Madrid, with the player reportedly favoring a move to the Spanish capital since last October.
However, negotiating with Bayern Munich for Davies’ transfer this summer may prove challenging. The Bundesliga club may be reluctant to part ways with the talented defender, much like in the case of Alaba’s departure.
Real Madrid fans will be eagerly anticipating the potential addition of Alphonso Davies to their squad, continuing the trend of top players making the switch between the two European powerhouses.
