Real Madrid star pushing €70 million-rated Bayern Munich star to move to the Bernabeu
Real Madrid have upped the ante in their pursuit of Alphonso Davies in recent days. What initially emerged as a slim possibility is now one of the club’s primary objectives, and the offices at Santiago Bernabeu are committed to making it a reality.
According to reports from Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich are not interested in selling the full-back this summer and have not placed him on the market.
However, Los Blancos are keen on his signing. In fact, David Alaba is one of the players pushing for the transfer to unfold.
The centre-back knows Davies well from his time at Bayern Munich and sees him as an optimal solution for Real Madrid’s troubles at left-back. While he indeed has a large role to play in pushing Carlo Ancelotti in favour of the move, he is also exploiting his good relations with the full-back to trigger movement from the other end.
The Canadian international produced three goals and eight assists in his 38 matches last season despite facing repeated stints on the sidelines through injury. His fitness may be a concern, but he is one of the world’s best in terms of quality.
Los Blancos have suffered in the left-back department for years now. They never really recovered from the departure of Marcelo, and Davies could just be the man who fits the bill in terms of attacking output.
Heading into the new season, Ancelotti will have the newly arrived Fran Garcia under his command as a novel option to deploy at left-back. The coming pre-season, thus, will be critical for the manager to understand the profile he recently acquired.
Ferland Mendy too appears set to continue for the 2023-24 campaign. However, the Frenchman’s departure will not come as a surprise, especially if talks with Bayern Munich over Davies progress.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.
