The reason why Real Madrid rejected Alphonso Davies' signing

Real Madrid has made the decision to discard the signing of Alphonso Davies due to the high economic demands of the Canadian player, which even exceeded the figures proposed for Trent Alexander-Arnold, one of the club's priorities to strengthen the right-back in the upcoming summer market, as reported by Defensa Central. While negotiations with the Liverpool full-back are progressing successfully, the case of Davies has come to a standstill.

The white team presented a specific offer to the Bayern Munich player, setting a salary limit close to nine million euros per season, with the possibility of future increases based on sporting merits. However, Davies, who already has a renewal offer of twelve million annually from the Bavarian club, rejected any proposal that did not meet his expectations. Faced with this scenario, Real Madrid chose not to push negotiations and withdrew its interest.

Real Madrid was not willing to pay Alphonso Davies as much money

Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold, who will also arrive as a free agent, has accepted the conditions offered by the Madrid club, including a salary similar to what was proposed to Davies and a signing bonus exceeding 18 million euros. This readiness from the English full-back has facilitated an agreement that strengthens Ancelotti's team in a key position following Dani Carvajal's long-term injury.

Although the left-back position is not an immediate concern, Madrid continues to evaluate options to bolster that side for the future, especially considering that the generational change in that position is still ongoing. With Fran García and Ferland Mendy as current options, the sports planning aims to strengthen the squad without compromising its salary structure.
