<p>Real Madrid is increasingly confident of signing Alphonso Davies in the summer. The Spanish side was previously linked with a move for the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern Munich</a> defender for much of the most recent transfer window. A deal, however, obviously never materialized. </p>



<p>Nevertheless, Spanish <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/liga-primera/madrid-palco-vestuario-optimista-nunca-20231031114922-nt.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> suggest that Los Blancos will reignite their interest in Davies next summer. The defender is widely considered one of the top left-backs in the world. Bayern would want to keep the key player, but contract negotiations between the two sides are not progressing.</p>



<p>Davies is under contract with the German giants until June 2025. This means that Bayern could very well lose the star defender for free if they do not either re-sign him or sell him before the end of the 2024 summer market. Davies is also not exactly in a rush to sign a new deal with the reigning <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/">Bundesliga</a> champions.</p>



<h2>Agent claims Alphonso Davies remains close with Real Madrid star Alaba</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/canada-national-team-tv-schedule/">Canada</a> International’s agent, Nedal Huoseh, recently admitted that there is plenty of outside intrigue in his client as contract negotiations with Bayern stall. “There is interest from many teams,” Huoseh <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/bundesliga/2023/10/03/651bff97ca4741062b8b45bc.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> <em>365 Scores</em>. </p>



<p>“I read the articles on the internet, but in the end, we will see what happens in the coming months. I am sure that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> can be one of the clubs that would like to sign Davies, along with several English <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> clubs. They all want to have one of the best left-backs in the world.”</p>

<p>Huoseh also acknowledged that Davies remains in close touch with Real defender David Alaba. The two previously played together at Bayern. “He played with Alaba for 3 years. They are friends, they talk all the time,” continued Huoseh.</p>



<p>“The conversations they have together are private. Davies doesn’t share all the information with me about it, but I’m sure David would like to play with him again. They are friends, you know, they talk a lot, but he is also friends with other players from other clubs. And he also knows players from other clubs in the Premier League and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/la-liga-tv-schedule/">LaLiga</a>.”</p>



<h2>Davies would potentially be latest star to play for both clubs</h2>



<p>Assuming Davies does not re-sign with Bayern, the two sides are expected to discuss a transfer fee. <em><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12697537/Real-Madrid-confident-signing-Alphonso-Davies-Bayern-Munich-summer-LaLiga-giants-set-lure-star-defender-little-34m-contract-expires-2025.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mail Sport</a></em> reports that the German club would potentially sell the defender for as low as $41 million. However, this fee could rise to over $50 million. Davies would be the subject of a much higher price tag if he were under contract beyond 2025.</p>



<p>Real and Bayern also have a history of doing transfer business together. Along with Alaba, Toni Kroos previously joined the Spanish side from Bayern in 2014 for around $33 million as well. Arjen Robben, James Rodriguez, and Xabi Alonso also switched Real colors for the Bundesliga outfit as well.</p>



<p>Real boss Carlo Ancelotti has deployed a combination of Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia at the left-back position so far this season. Nevertheless, the club is open to fielding offers for Mendy next summer. This would open up a place for Davies. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/france-national-team-tv-schedule/">France</a> international has unfortunately suffered a series of injury setbacks since arriving at the Spanish side.</p>

Real Madrid 'confident' in potential Alphonso Davies deal

Reports in Spain suggest that Real Madrid is likely to reignite their interest in signing Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich next summer.


<p>Alphonso Davies is one of the best defenders in the world, and he could have been playing for Barcelona. The defender, who has dominated the Catalan club on several occasions, including the 8-2 victory in the 2020 Champions League quarterfinals, made a bold claim about why he never moved to Barcelona.</p>



<p>Speaking on the <em><a href="https://youtu.be/mIUwb0IZMBs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Say Less</a> </em>podcast, Davies claims Barcelona reached out while he was playing with the Vancouver Whitecaps. The defender added that the President of the club did not want him because he was Canadian. Davies says that is what came out in the media, and he could not provide any proof of whether that claim was true. Barcelona’s President at the time of Davies’s move to Europe was Josep Maria Bartomeu, who truly did more bad than good at the club. </p>



<p>That reasoning hurt Davies, who later went on to sign with Bayern Munich in the summer of 2018. He made his debut with the Bavarian giants in the winter of 2019. Since joining, he has been on a tear for both club and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/2022/06/10/bayerns-davies-scores-twice-on-return-as-canada-thrash-curacao/">country</a>. With Bayern Munich, Davies won a spot in the Bundesliga Team of the Season in each of the last three campaigns. Before then, he was the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season in the 2019/20 campaign. At the international level, Davies was integral in getting Canada to its first World Cup since 1986. He also scored Canada’s first World Cup goal.</p>

<p>Davies has one of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/from-refugee-camp-to-bayern-munich-the-remarkable-alphonso-davies-20190111-CMS-261146.html">best stories in world soccer</a>, as he moved from a refugee camp to Canada before developing into a star in Europe. His ability with the ball has been a serious benefit to both his club and Canada over the last several years.</p>



<h2>Barcelona rivals now hunting Alphonso Davies</h2>



<p>Barcelona may have deflated Davies in the past. Now, he is the one making the moves. With Davies’s contract expiring at the end of the 2024/25 season, there are rumblings of the Canadian moving on. The top clubs outside of Bayern Munich that are expressing interest are Manchester City and Real Madrid. Davies’s agent could just be playing mind games, though. He reached out to other clubs, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12173777/Alphonso-Davies-agent-fires-warning-Bayern-Munich-amid-Real-Madrid-Man-City.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daily Mail</a>. That could be in a bid to make Bayern Munich offer Davies more money on his next contract.</p>



<p>As of now, Davies is back with the Canadian National Team to prepare for the Concacaf Nations League Finals. Canada plays in its semifinal match against Panama on Thursday. The winner of that game plays the winner of the United States and Mexico, which is also on Thursday. </p>
