Real Madrid closely monitoring 21-year-old Bayern Munich speedster – report
According to journalist Jose Felix Diaz on MARCA, Real Madrid are closely monitoring the progress of Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies.
The 21-year-old joined the Bavarian giants from Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2019 and has quickly become one of the most exciting young left-backs in Europe, due to his searing pace, athleticism and attacking contributions.
Even though the Canadian international has had to deal with injury issues in his career, he remains very highly rated in the footballing community and Real Madrid, in particular, are keeping a close watch on the Bayern Munich speedster.
Real Madrid have several options for the left-back position currently in the form of Ferland Mendy, David Alaba as well as Nacho Fernandez, while manager Carlo Ancelotti has also hinted at the possibility of using Antonio Rudiger in the role if required.
But, it must be noted that Alaba is largely seen as a centre-back while Nacho’s contract is on the verge of expiry and renewal talks have stalled.
Meanwhile, talks over a contract extension with Mendy have also halted due to his excessive wage demands. It has opened up the possibility of signing a new left-back in the future if the Frenchman is sold by the Merengues.
And, as per the report, Davies is being tracked closely by the current Spanish and European champions. The 21-year-old is contracted with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2025, so luring him away from the Allianz Arena will not be straightforward.
For now, though, there is no indication that Real Madrid will try to sign him in the summer of next year. Jude Bellingham remains the top priority for Los Blancos for 2023, while they are also working to resolve the contract situations of veteran stars like Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
Davies, at this point, is being tracked. And it remains to be seen if a future move is on the cards.

Kylian Mbappe has been named Real Madrid Player of the Month for August after an impressive start to the 2026/27 season.

Mbappe opened his goalscoring account for the season in Real Madrid’s second game of the season against Real Sociedad, plundering a hat-trick in a 4-1 win.
The France captain was on target again in the next game, scoring in a 4-0 win over newly-promoted La Liga side, Malaga.

Mbappe happy with positive start
After receiving the award at the training facilities earlier today, Mbappe spoke to RMTV, talking positively about the team’s start to the campaign and outlined his ambitions for the months ahead.
“We’ve started the season positively. I hope we can continue like this on Saturday. I think there can be a lot of success this season,” he said.
The Real Madrid forward is determined to play his part as the team pursue trophies on multiple fronts.
“I’m really looking forward to helping the team and showing that we can do great things this year. I’m always happy to play here. I know it’s a privilege,” he noted.
Welcoming the new arrivals
Mbappe also discussed the new faces who have joined the squad, stressing the importance of ensuring everyone settles quickly into the team.
After all, Real Madrid have made as many as six new additions in Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Carlos Espi, Denzel Dumfries, and Yan Diomande.
“It’s always good to see new faces. They come wanting to help the badge and Real Madrid. We’ve tried to make sure everyone adapts in the best possible way so that we can all move in the same direction,” he stated.
With the squad continuing to improve, Mbappe believes unity will be crucial as Real Madrid aim for a successful season.
The France captain’s four goals in August, coupled with his strike against Inter Milan earlier this week, have provided an early indication of his importance to the side as Real Madrid look to bring trophies back at the Bernabeu.
