Bayern Munich are currently in talks with AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez, and according to Mundo Deportivo, the left-back has given his consent to the potential move.
The report also mentions that once Bayern finalize an agreement for Hernandez, they plan to allow Alphonso Davies to transfer to Real Madrid.
This series of deals suggests a strategic reshuffling in Bayern’s defence line, as the club seems prepared to trade Davies’ departure for Hernandez’s arrival.
Real Madrid are reportedly gearing up to sign Davies, significantly strengthening its negotiating position despite Bayern Munich’s initial reluctance to part ways with the player.
Bayern had hoped to renew Davies’s contract, but with Real Madrid taking a keen interest, their stance is shifting.
A few days back, Bayern’s sports director, Max Eberl, mentioned there hasn’t been any offer from Real Madrid yet, but that might change soon.

As quoted by the outlet, Real Madrid aim to cap the transfer fee at €50 million, while Bayern are likely to demand a higher amount for the player.
As for Carlo Ancelotti, he continues to value Ferland Mendy highly. The 28-year-old Frenchman is considered a key player in Ancelotti’s lineup, and the coach would prefer to keep him on the team.
It is to be noted that Mendy’s contract expires in 2025, and Ancelotti supports a potential renewal.
However, Real Madrid management views Mendy as a potentially expendable player. Given the interest from Premier League, Serie A, and Ligue 1 teams, including PSG, the club might consider selling him to generate funds.
Ultimately, Real Madrid’s focus remains on acquiring Davies and making strategic changes to strengthen the squad. However, this is something that Ancelotti is not favouring since he places his trust in Mendy.
