Spanish giants Real Madrid are reportedly targeting Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies ahead of the summer transfer window.
Los Blancos are looking to build their team with the long-term in mind and have identified the 22-year-old Canadian as the perfect candidate to become first-choice left-back.
Davies starred at the World Cup in Qatar. Los Blancos sees him as one of the best left-backs in the world, with the Spanish giants seeing him as the heir to Marcelo’s throne at Santiago Bernabeu.

However, Real Madrid aren’t alone in their desire to sign Davies, with Premier League giants Manchester City also in the race for the Canada star. City are short in the left-back position after sending first-choice left-back Joao Cancelo on loan to Bayern Munich.
The Portuguese international is not expected to return to the Etihad after falling out with City coach Pep Guardiola. And City do not see their only current specialist left-back, Sergio Gomez, as able to lead them forward. Hence, their desire to sign Davies.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old’s contract with Bayern Munich runs till the summer of 2025. And according to Sky Sports, Bayern will be reluctant to let him leave, let alone depart cheaply.
Since joining Bayern in 2018, Davies has won the Bundesliga four times and the Champions League.
