Everything has changed in recent days with Alphonso Davies and Florentino Pérez is already aware of it. Real Madrid president had received rumors about the possible renewal of the Canadian with Bayern Munich, something that is already taken for granted in Germany. Sky has confirmed it, indicating that "he is about to renew his contract," thus ruling out his possible arrival at Santiago Bernabéu.
Nothing is final yet, but a key meeting is expected this week to solve the whole issue. Bayern has set to work to ensure the continuity of Alphonso Davies. Now they are willing to pay the salary the full-back is asking for, which Florentino Pérez had already made clear he wouldn't do. The blow would be significant, although it's true that the president already has his "plan B" ready.
Florentino Makes a Decision after the Latest on Davies
The more-than-likely rejection by Davies has led Florentino Pérez to opt for the "plan B" he had. In case the Canadian fails, Real Madrid president had always thought of 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 attracted the interest of 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 a move, with the first option being to return 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 full-backs in Europe, who would arrive earning less than Davies. He is the chosen one in case the now expected rejection by the Canadian is confirmed.
Davies Leaves Real Madrid Hanging
Despite having long desired to play for Real Madrid, Alphonso Davies has always been open to renewing with Bayern. In this regard, he has always been driven by the financial aspect: If they pay him what he asks for, he stays. The figures for his renewal would be around 15 million net annually, some madness that Florentino Pérez doesn't intend to do.
For a long time, Davies has known that his move to Real Madrid wouldn't be for financial reasons. Thus, it has become clear. As soon as it's confirmed that he stays at Bayern, Florentino Pérez will activate the secondary plan: bringing back Miguel Gutiérrez.
