Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on the free agent market ahead of next season and there's one player who stands out above the rest: Alphonso Davies. At 24, his contract with Bayern ends at the end of this season and he has attracted the interest of several big clubs, including the one headed by Florentino Pérez. However, what seemed simple a short time ago is not so easy now.
Bild has discovered that Bayern has made a new offer to Alphonso Davies for a contract renewal in recent weeks. In this sense, we would be talking about the definitive offer for Davies: take it or leave it. He has an ultimatum on the table to stay in Munich for more years or leave when the current season ends, coinciding with the end of his contract.
The final say now rests with Alphonso Davies, who's always shown himself willing to renew with Bayern if the financial offer is good. In this case, it seems the figure they have offered him is (very) close to what he was asking for months ago for his renewal. On many occasions, it's been said that the Canadian already has an agreement with Real Madrid. However, itseems that this has been ruled out.
Vinícius Júnior Knows: There's Plan B at Real Madrid in Case Alphonso Davies Fails
The Real Madrid president has an ace up his sleeve in case Davies doesn't end up arriving. The chosen one is none other than Miguel Gutiérrez, the Girona full-back for whom he has a buyback clause and, in addition, he continues to control 50% of his rights.
Miguel Gutiérrez was outstanding last season at Girona and has aroused the interest of half of Europe. Florentino Pérez is thinking about him if the deal for Alphonso Davies doesn't materialize. He already knows that, to take him, he would "only" have to pay 8 million euros.
In any case, the priority that Real Madrid has set is Alphonso Davies, as his friend Vinícius Júnior well knows.
However, a team like the one Florentino presides over has to have several cards on the table in case one fails. In the event that Alphonso Davies ends up renewing with Bayern or going to another team, the chosen one would be Miguel Gutiérrez. However, there's still a lot of time ahead and the market can always change in a matter of hours. Stay calm.
