Real Madrid had been observing the transfer market for some time in search of reinforcements for their defense. One of the names that had caused the most interest was Alphonso Davies, the talented left-back from Bayern Munich. His speed, offensive capability, and defensive solidity made him an ideal option for the white team, which was looking to strengthen its squad after Dani Carvajal's injury.
Not only was Real Madrid interested in the Canadian. FC Barcelona was also closely following his situation, which suggested a possible dispute between the two giants of Spanish soccer. However, when it seemed that his departure from Bayern could become a reality, everything changed.

Unexpected Renewal and Blow for Madrid
The Madrid dream of signing Davies vanished with an unexpected announcement: the full-back has renewed his contract with Bayern Munich until 2030. This move has been a cold shower for the white club, which saw him as a key piece for the future of their defense.
Madrid hoped that Davies wouldn't renew, which would have facilitated his arrival in 2025 or earlier if Bayern sold him. But finally, Davies has chosen to stay in München, securing a long-term contract and dispelling any rumors about his departure.
Ferland Mendy, the Big Beneficiary
If there is one Real Madrid player who has received this news with relief, it is Ferland Mendy. The Frenchman, who has been the starting left-back in recent seasons, was on the edge with the possible arrival of Davies.
Mendy has been questioned on several occasions for his inconsistency and physical problems, which had led the club to consider signing a top-level reinforcement. However, with Davies off the market, Mendy retains his starting position and gains points to remain in the squad for the next season.

How Will Madrid Move in the Market?
With Davies ruled out, Real Madrid will have to look for new options if they want to reinforce the left-back position. Mendy will remain key, but Madrid could seek reinforcements or rely on the growth of Fran García.
Davies's renewal has been a blow for Madrid, but planning continues. The management will have to decide whether to fully trust Mendy or look for a new full-back to ensure the team's defensive stability in the future.
