Alphonso Davies’ future most likely lies with Real Madrid. According to media reports, the FC Bayern professional has already reached an agreement with the Royals, but the timing of the change has not yet been determined. The Spanish top club would like to sign the 23-year-old next summer, but would have to put a decent sum on the table to do so.
According to “Bild”, the Munich-based company has decided on a price tag for Davies and has set it at 70 million euros. This corresponds exactly to the Canadian’s current market value – a year before the end of the contract, players are usually sold for less than this amount. Precisely because of the prevailing situation surrounding the reports, a lower amount may have been expected in Madrid.

It was recently reported that Real wanted to insist on a sum of between 40 and 50 million euros, while “Marca” wrote of a starting offer of 35 million euros. The clubs would have to clear out a difference of more than 20 million euros if the deal were to go through in the coming summer. According to “Bild”, there is still no contact between the clubs.

In any case, the appointment of sports director Max Eberl will bring a new breath of fresh air to the personnel. During his introduction, the 50-year-old emphasized that he wanted to prevent Davies from leaving for free. “It’s never nice to lose players for free, no club wants that. But I have to see what the status is first,” he said.
Contract negotiations only took place at the end of last year, at that time with sports director Christoph Freund. Davies is said to have demanded a salary of 20 million euros per year, which the Munich team was unwilling to pay. The left-back is currently expected to earn just over 10 million euros per year. The sum consists of a fixed salary of around 7 million euros and bonuses of up to 3.5 million euros. The top earner for the record champions is Harry Kane, the Englishman receives a rumored 25 million euros per season.
