Real Madrid ready to make first move for Bayern Munich defender as renewal talks break down | OneFootball

Transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Alphonso Davies has decided not to renew his contract with Bayern Munich at this moment.

A decision regarding his future is pending and will likely be made in the coming weeks, adding a tense atmosphere to the situation. If an extension cannot be agreed upon, Davies will depart from Bayern this summer.

In that case, Real Madrid have expressed their readiness to initiate discussions with Bayern by making an opening bid for the Canadian full-back.

Real Madrid are being patient

At present, Real Madrid are charting their own course to secure the signing of Davies. With the Bayern full-back’s contract set to expire in June 2025, the Merengues aim to bring him on board this summer. For this to happen, everyone involved is playing their part.

Bayern are applying pressure on the player to extend his contract, and Madrid are well aware of the advantageous position Davies’ contractual situation puts them in.

The player himself is patiently waiting, knowing he holds the cards to potentially secure a move.

With Davies’ contract expiring in June 2025, if Bayern fails to renew it, the player could become a free agent at that time and this is where Real Madrid can jump in.

Davies unhappy with Bayern

A few days ago, we reported that Real Madrid were given a deadline to make an offer for Davies. On the other hand, even the player was asked by the Bavarians to affirm his decision by the beginning of April.

All this angered the player and his agent, who recently admitted that although the parties were close to reaching an agreement last year, things have changed during the course of the season.

“It’s unfair to receive an ultimatum from Bayern. We will decide how to proceed at the end of the season when there is more clarity. It’s unfair that Alphonso is now being attacked,” said the player’s agent, Nedal Huoseh.

“We were close to an agreement a year ago. Then the entire club management was replaced. We didn’t hear anything for seven months. Although I tried during this time to contact the club myself,” he added.

Now with contract negotiations breaking down, Real Madrid are ready to make their first move for the left-back.
