Florentino Pérez wants to be the ideal team for Real Madrid. In this sense, one of the frontiers that he believes can be improved is that of the left-back, because although Ferland Mendy performs admirably, especially at the defensive level, his constant injuries raise questions about his short-term performance, and even his future at the club
That is why, as reported by As newspaper, from the upper echelons of Real Madrid they have thought of a name that would be a universal icon among the left-backs. This is Alphonso Davies, a complete footballer with high quality, but with supersonic speed. Alphonso Davies’ appearances at Bayern Munich seem to be already many years ago, but we must remember that the Canadian footballer is only 22 years old and is already considered one of the The best left-backs in the world, if not the best. However, the Bavarian team is firmly attached to him, having signed him in January 2019, and entered into a contract until the summer of 2025
The player is very much at home at the German club, but Real Madrid plan to use the same tactics they have used with Hazard and Toni Kroos in the past to try to reduce the value of his signing. In this case, it’s about, with only a year left until his link expires, try to impress his club with a big financial offer (considering they could lose their player for free after one season)
Alphonso Davies, who arrived at Bayern from Canadian club Vancouver Whitecaps, has a personal story of gentrification behind the most interesting of them. Born in a refugee camp in Buduburam, Ghana, to Liberian parents fleeing civil war in their country, his life changed in 2005 when Canada accepted them under a resettlement programme. They went to live in Edmonton, where young Alfonso began to excel as he matured and grew. He entered the Edmonton Strikers academy and, from there, was signed by the Vancouver Whitecaps, a team on the other side of the country, but managed to recruit him even though his mother, Victoria, was obviously not seen
Now, with one of the biggest window claims at the highest level, he would be a future possibility for Real Madrid for the 2024 season. After that, it will have a much lower market price and far from the 100 million euros it could cost now. Specifically, and also according to AS, this would be 6 7.8 million euros
