Florentino Pérez knows the latest update as he's been informed that Alphonso Davies has chosen a team for next season: Bayern Munich. The decision is firm and his new contract is ready for signing, with a new agreement that binds him to the German club until 2029. The plan is to sign this agreement in the coming days, putting an end to his possible move to Real Madrid.
In this regard, Alphonso Davies has always wanted to be clear with Real Madrid, to the point that he has already communicated his plans. In a brief call with Florentino Pérez, the Canadian full-back was clear: "Presi, I'm staying at Bayern. I'm renewing." The Madrid president was disappointed with his words, but understands that the decision was driven by money and involves figures he can't match.
The meeting that Davies's agent held in the last few hours with Bayern's executives has been key. Negotiations for his new contract have resumed, and he's to sign for a salary that will make him one of the highest-paid in the world. In any case, Madrid had this scenario on the list of possibilities and wasn't caught by surprise, being able to activate its second option.
Alphonso Davies Has Already Chosen and Calls Florentino Pérez: Plan B Activated at Real Madrid
This confirmed rejection by Alphonso Davies has led Florentino Pérez to opt for activating the 'plan B' he had planned. Given the possibility that the Canadian might fail, 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 from 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 his first option being a return to Santiago Bernabéu.
For Miguel Gutiérrez to return to Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez has known his price for a long time. It takes only 8 million euros to bring in one of the best full-backs in Europe, who would start earning much less than Alphonso Davies. He's the chosen one, with confirmation that the Canadian's transfer won't happen.
