He's been under a lot of pressure in recent weeks, but Alphonso Davies's future isn't as certain as it's being said. Although in Germany there's talk of his renewal with Bayern, Florentino Pérez hasn't thrown in the towel yet and sees him close to Real Madrid. So far, he hasn't signed any contract and isn't expected to do so in the near future.
Marca has revealed that Davies still has doubts about his future. He still doesn't have a full agreement with Bayern and at Real Madrid they keep moving to try to convince him. The mentioned information assures that "there's confidence" in Valdebebas to be able to close the transfer of the Canadian. His contract ends next June 30 and he could arrive completely free: a bargain.
Alphonso Davies knows that his future depends solely and exclusively on himself. He values the challenge of being able to play at Real Madrid very positively, definitively ending his stage at Bayern. Florentino Pérez continues working behind the scenes, tirelessly and with a proposal he hopes will ultimately convince him. A 5-year contract, a salary in the mid-range of the payroll, and guaranteed starting position on the left wing, pairing with his friend Vinícius Júnior.
Alphonso Davies, Plan A for Real Madrid: Florentino Pérez Also Has Plan B
Until he signs his contract, Real Madrid won't consider the Alphonso Davies saga over. Although it's said he's close to renewing with Bayern, the reality is quite different. In any case, Florentino Pérez wants to keep all options open. He won't close the door to another operation in case the Canadian deal falls through.
The indecision Alphonso Davies is showing has led Florentino Pérez to "plan B". If the Canadian deal fails, the president of Real Madrid has always considered Miguel Gutiérrez. The youth player is the option that convinces him the most, especially because of his price, which makes him quite a bargain.
Miguel Gutiérrez has been shining at Girona for a long time and has sparked interest across half of Europe, although it's true that his priority is to return to Madrid. The left-back is clear that this will be his last season there and is open to moving. In that case, his first option would be returning to Santiago Bernabéu.
For Miguel Gutiérrez to return to Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez has known his price for a long time. We're talking about only 8 million euros to bring in one of the best left-backs in Europe, who would arrive earning less than Alphonso Davies. He's the chosen one in case the possible transfer of the Canadian falls through.
