Huge setback for Real Madrid as priority target nears contract extension with current club | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s hopes of signing Alphonso Davies may be dashed as the Canadian full-back nears a contract extension with Bayern Munich.

According to reports from AS, a crucial meeting is scheduled for this week that could see Davies agree to remain at Bayern beyond 2025. If this happens, it would be a significant blow to Real Madrid’s plans to recruit the talented defender.

The talks between Bayern Munich and Davies’ agent, Nick Huoseh, have been ongoing for several months and recent reports from Germany suggest that Davies is now more open to staying with the German giants, signalling a shift in his future plans.

While nothing is finalized yet, the scheduled meeting between Bayern and Huoseh will be pivotal in deciding whether Davies will extend his stay in Munich.

A blow to Real Madrid

This news comes as a setback for Real Madrid, who have long been interested in Davies. The player had shown interest in moving to the Spanish capital, and many believed that an agreement was within reach.

However, Bayern’s management has worked tirelessly to ensure that their star player stays with them, with reports indicating that they have managed to change his mind.

One of the key figures in this development is Bayern’s coach, Vincent Kompany. Under him, Davies has found his best form, especially after a dip in performance under former manager Thomas Tuchel.

Kompany has a major influence

Kompany’s influence has been significant in Davies’ turnaround, and it appears that the player’s renewed confidence on the pitch has played a crucial role in his decision to stay.

Another factor is Bayern Munich’s substantial financial offer to Davies, which is reported to include a €15 million gross salary per year, with an additional €15 million on the table for his contract renewal.

This lucrative deal would make it difficult for any potential suitor, including Real Madrid, to match Bayern’s offer. If Davies agrees to stay, it would be a major setback for Real Madrid’s pursuit of the talented full-back.
