The signing of Alphonso Davies by Real Madrid seems to be fading away after an unexpected turn in the negotiations between the player and Bayern Munich. The Canadian full-back, who had been in talks with the Spanish club for over a year and had a verbal agreement for a future at Chamartín, is now very close to renewing with the Bavarians thanks to a new proposal that meets his financial demands.
The turning point came last Friday when Bayern decided to significantly improve their offer. As reported by the AS, the German club increased their salary proposal by approximately 2 million euros per year, reaching the 15 million gross per season that Davies had requested, along with a lucrative renewal bonus. This move surprised even the player's circle, who saw his move to Madrid as inevitable.
Real Madrid is disappointed but already seeking alternatives
At the Bernabéu, this decision has triggered a combination of resignation and pragmatism. While Davies was an important target to strengthen the left flank for the upcoming season, he was not considered an absolute priority. Madrid had offered a competitive contract but far from the figures now guaranteed by Bayern, making it clear they would not engage in an economic battle.
With Davies' renewal almost sealed, Real Madrid is considering other options. Among them, the return of Miguel Gutiérrez from Girona, currently priced at 8 million euros for the buyback. This alternative could entail the departure of Fran García to reorganize the defense.
