Although Real Madrid FC have made it clear that they will be conservative in their reinforcement efforts this summer, they still plan to make a final push to bring in Canadian star Alphonso Davies. According to authoritative Spanish media Relevo, Real Madrid's management believes that the current squad is strong enough, but they still have a strong interest in Davies in the key position of left back.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has publicly stated earlier in Chicago that the squad is set and the club's management has also privately confirmed this stance by stating that there are not too many players on the market worth bringing in, especially in the center-back position. However, Real Madrid's attitude towards Alfonso Davies has remained unchanged and they believe that the young talent can further enhance the competitiveness of the team.
Real Madrid are reportedly planning to launch a final push for Davies in the final days of August as a way of forcing Bayern Munich to make a decision on whether to sell the Canadian international or take the risk that he could leave the club for free in ten months' time. Real Madrid are aware that Davies' contract is due to expire soon, and they want to use this advantage to negotiate with Bayern, but at the same time say they will not exceed the price Bayern has previously asked for.
Real Madrid's pursuit of Davies is not empty. Davies himself has repeatedly expressed his desire to join the Bernabeu, and Real Madrid see him as a priority target in the market. If they are unsuccessful in signing him this summer, Real Madrid have said they will continue to try next year and are optimistic about the prospect of Davies on a free transfer in 2025. However, that doesn't mean things will be plain sailing, with Bayern making it clear that they won't be letting the key player go easily and could try to convince him to extend his contract in the coming months.
An injury to Bayern's newest signing, Yohki Ito, has added a new variable to Davies' transfer. Ito's absence may make Bayern more reliant on Davies at left-back, thus increasing the likelihood of him staying in the team. However, Real Madrid will still go all out to try and recruit the young talent before his contract expires.
