Bayern Munich eyeing up a possible replacement for Real Madrid transfer target
It is no secret that Real Madrid are in the market for a left-back and in that regard, they have rejuvenated their interest in Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies.
Knowing Real Madrid’s intention, Bayern are on high alert as losing their first-team player would pose a big problem.
In case the Canadian does end up leaving, the team from Germany would need a luxury purchase and TuttoMercatoWeb has reported that the German champions have identified Milan left-back Theo Hernandez as a potential replacement.
The only issue is that the price of Theo Hernandez is very high, potentially rising to €100 million. This is mostly because the 25-year-old is one of the finest players in his position and several top European teams are interested in his acquisition.
Hernandez’s tenure at Milan has been extremely fruitful. The former Real Madrid full-back joined the Serie A team in July 2019 and in his four seasons with the team, he has played more than 160 matches across all competitions.
A mainstay in Milan’s starting XI, the 25-year-old is a fan favourite. Furthermore, he only renewed his deal until 2026 in February last year post which he inherited the role of the team’s vice-captain. This means the probability of him leaving Milan in the summer is extremely low.
It could thus end up affecting Real Madrid’s pursuit of Davies. Even though Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Fran Garcia will be arriving at the club this summer, Los Blancos are eyeing another top left-back.
This is because of the unreliable nature of Ferland Mendy, who has struggled with form and fitness this season. As such, Davies has been identified as a key target.
It bodes well that Bayern are looking out for a possible replacement for him already, although any move for the Canadian left-back will be quite complicated to pull off for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid president dreaming of trident attack featuring €180 million-rated French starlet
Real Madrid have drawn a comprehensive roadmap for the upcoming summer transfer window and the club’s squad planning ahead of the new season, but as far as the club’s ambition is concerned, the objective is to sign Kylian Mbappe in 2024.
Real Madrid are expected to revolve everything around the idea of signing the PSG superstar next year, reports Alfredo Matilla and Sergio Santos.
As per the two Spanish journalists, Florentino Perez is envisioning a Real Madrid strikeforce comprising Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Mbappe.
The report points out that Real Madrid view the Frenchman as a realistic target as they expect him not to accept the option of extending his contract at PSG until 2025 next year. His fallout with the PSG has been already well-documented this year.
With Les Parisien seemingly failing to live up to Mbappe’s ambition, it could only be a matter of time before he opts to leave the club. To that end, Real Madrid will be prepared, especially at the end of next season.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are starting to lose hope of signing Erling Haaland, because of the striker’s excellent relationship with Pep Guardiola which could keep him at Man City beyond 2024. Mbappe, therefore, has emerged as the top target for Los Blancos.
The potential strikeforce comprising Vinicius, Rodrygo and Mbappe could see Real Madrid operating in a 4-3-3 formation, with Mbappe playing at the centre. It must be noted that the club are also involved in the pursuit of Kai Havertz.
The German could be an intriguing addition to this strikeforce – potentially making Real Madrid one of the most feared attacking sides in Europe. However, it remains to be seen whether or not Los Blancos can actually manage to pull the signing of Mbappe or Havertz in the near future.
