According to the latest report from Relevo, a leading Spanish soccer media, Real Madrid Football Club has adopted a clear and solid strategy in pursuing the transfer of Bayern Munich's wingback Alfonso Davies. Faced with Bayern's demand for a transfer fee of up to 50 million euros, Real Madrid chose to wait rather than pay that high price immediately.
The Bayern side are reportedly holding out for a €50 million valuation for Davies, but Real Madrid have made it clear that they will not meet that demand. Instead, they plan to wait until next summer when Davies' contract expires to sign him as a free agent. This strategy not only avoids the high transfer fee expenditure, but also reflects Real Madrid's patience and precise layout in the transfer market.
Bayern president Hernandez also commented on the situation, emphasizing that if Davies does not choose to extend his contract, then Bayern will have to accept the fact that he will leave the club when his contract expires. This statement further confirms the uncertainty of Davies' future and Bayern's tough stance in transfer negotiations.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is currently more concerned with the renewal of existing player Ferland Mendy's contract rather than the immediate introduction of Davies. This reflects Real Madrid's prudence and pragmatism in their transfer strategy, as they prefer to stabilize the existing lineup and gradually strengthen it.
In addition, it is widely believed within Real Madrid that signing Davies when his contract expires next summer would be a more attractive option. By then, Davies' value could be reduced as he becomes a free agent, while Real Madrid would have more transfer funds and resources to focus on other key positions.
