The imminent signing that Alphonso Davies will make following Florentino Pérez’s own approval
It is well known that one of Real Madrid’s biggest targets is Alphonso Davies. Faced with the need to renew the left-back position, the Canadian was the perfect option. However, the complications that his signing was presenting led Florentino Pérez to make a decision.
After several months of uncertainty, everything points to Davies renewing with Bayern Munich. The Bavarian team has managed to meet the salary demands that the full-back was asking to stay with the team. With the signing of his new contract possibly being announced this week, Florentino Pérez has already considered this operation lost.
This is why the president is now focused on other options to renew the full-back position. Although not being able to sign Davies was unexpected, this hasn’t hindered the club’s operations. Still having plenty of time before the summer transfer window arrives, Real Madrid is confident in finding the ideal player for their left-back position.
The signing that couldn’t be
At 24 years old, Davies is already considered one of the best full-backs in the world. His aggressiveness, speed, and ability to assist in the offense have made him a very valuable player for Bayern Munich. Despite last season not being his best, the 2,006 minutes he has played this season demonstrate his importance to the team.
Despite Real Madrid’s attempts to sign him, the player has shown his true intentions in the end. Instead of seeking new challenges and being mentally prepared to wear white, the Canadian only wanted to find a way to increase his salary.
A clear indication that, in the end, Davies is not a player who has what it takes to succeed at Real Madrid. Seeking fully committed players, Florentino Pérez knows he will be able to find better options in the coming months.
The priority remains
The non-arrival of Davies hasn’t diverted Real Madrid’s focus from the necessary renewal of their full-backs. With Fran García and Mendy’s futures being uncertain, the club knows it is essential to find a full-back who can contribute in both attack and defense.
