According to Spanish media outlet As, Real Madrid were originally interested in signing a €35 million deal this summer to
Bayern
Munich's Canadian winger Alphonso Davies, but now they have agreed with the player to wait until 2025 before joining.
The As noted that Davies will have to wait a year before joining
Real Madrid soccer team
, whose contract with Bayern expires in 2025. Real Madrid had planned to sign Davies for around €35 million this summer, but Bayern insisted on a price of at least €50 million.
Bayern offered Davies a 14 million euro annual contract extension, but Davies preferred to join Real Madrid, which made the Bayern senior very dissatisfied, and has withdrawn the contract extension offer. Davies' mind is made up, and he prefers a free transfer to Real Madrid after his contract expires in 2025, thus earning a generous signing bonus.
Real Madrid have agreed with Davies on waiting until 2025, which shows their long-term plans for the wing-back position. Another indication that Real Madrid will wait until next year to waive Davies is their reluctance to let Fran Garcia leave the club this summer. Villarreal asked Real Madrid about the possibility of bringing in Fran Garcia, but received a negative response.
This potential transfer shows how highly Real Madrid value Davies and how well they have planned the transfer market. Fans will be looking forward to seeing what Davies can do when he joins Real Madrid in 2025.
