According to reports, Real Madrid is keeping an eye on Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies in preparation for a potential summer transfer. Los Blancos are reportedly looking to replace the departing Marcelo.
Along with fellow countryman Dani Alves, the Brazilian defender left the Bernabeu after 15 years and approximately 550 matches, winning five Champions League and six La Liga medals in the process.
Carlo Ancelotti hasn’t yet found a left-back he can totally rely on after being demoted from first choice and leaving after that. Ferland Mendy played in 22 La Liga games, however his responsibilities were divided and occasionally David Alaba filled in.

Mendy, who has been the starter for the majority of this season, has rotated with both Alaba and Rudiger, but it is obvious that Ancelotti wants to expand his options there.
The team is turning to Davies to accomplish just that, according to Marca. With Bayern, the young Canadian defender rose to fame and helped Canada qualify for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1986. Despite being only 21 years old and having heart and other COVID-19-related problems the previous season, he is still among the most dangerous young players in Europe, in large part because of his lightning-quick turn of speed.
Additionally, Real Madrid is interested in this player. According to Marca, “the club is attentively watching the full-back, whose contract expires in 2025, for a position that has opportunity for improvement.”
However, they continue, “the current focus is on resolving the various contract renewals that require attention, with Luka Modric, Karim Benzema, and Toni Kroos serving as prominent examples.
But Davies’ future might not be decided until 2024, given that players like Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe could both leave this summer.
