Real Madrid’s long-term defensive target breaks silence over his future: “Ask my agent”
Real Madrid have found a handy means of manoeuvring transfers in recent market windows as they now focus on free agents or running targets’ contracts down.
After signing David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Kylian Mbappe in a similar fashion, they now have their eyes on Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies.
Widely considered one of the brightest young left-backs in world football, the Canadian star’s current deal in Germany runs out in June 2025 and the player has his heart set on a move to Madrid.
Despite Bayern’s strong efforts to renew his contract, Davies has shown no interest in considering the possibility and is seriously threatening to leave as a free agent next summer.
Davies speaks on his future
Speaking to BILD (h/t Fabrizio Romano) recently, the Bayern Munich defender commented openly about his situation with the Bavarians, future plans and a possible departure from the club.
Davies began by revealing his current priorities with the 2024-25 season underway, firmly stating that he was committed to Vincent Kompany’s project. “I’m fully focused on Bayern,” he said.
His next statement, however, was not very encouraging from a Bayern Munich fan’s perspective as he all but confirmed that he was seriously considering a departure from the club.
“Regardless of whether I stay or leave the club, I will always carry this club in my heart.”
Finally, Davies was quizzed on whether he was considering the contract renewal proposal that Bayern have been trying to push for in recent months, to which he said,
“New deal? Good question. You should ask my agent about it.”
So far this season, the youngster has made three Bundesliga appearances for Bayern and averages one key pass and over five defensive actions per game.
In what will come as a pleasing development for fans, Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid forward Rodrygo could make a comeback from his injury earlier than expected.
The 25-year-old Brazilian international has been out of action since March after suffering an ACL injury during a La Liga game against Getafe.
Due to the complete rupture of the ACL, coupled with associated meniscus damage, it was suggested that the attacker was staring at a lengthy time out on the sidelines and might not return until 2027.
In fact, the forward’s father, Eric Goes, recently stated in an interview that the Real Madrid ace could be back in February next year, just before the business end of the campaign.
Rodrygo could be back in December
However, as per the update from Romano, Rodrygo’s comeback could happen well before that expected date.
Indeed, if things continue to progress at the current rate, the 25-year-old attacker might return to action in December or by January 2027 at the latest.
This will come as a welcome boost for Jose Mourinho & co., considering that Rodrygo is a valuable player for the team.
Even though he had endured a tough spell prior to his form, the Brazilian’s versatility, work rate off the ball, and eye for a goal make him an asset.
Rodrygo eager to be back at his best
The update from Romano further states that Rodrygo feels very grateful to Real Madrid for all the help and support they have given him during this difficult phase of his career.
As such, the Brazilian international has made it a mission to return to action in the best shape possible and make an impact from the get-go.
The attacker has only recently begun working on the pitch with the ball indicating the significant progress he has made on the road to recovery.
And, if there are no setbacks, Real Madrid could recover one of their ace attackers before the end of the current year.
So far in his career, Rodrygo has made 297 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 71 goals. He has a contract with the club until 2028.
