Real Madrid are advancing their pawns. If Carlo Ancelotti announced that there would a priori be no reinforcement this winter, for this summer, it’s a completely different story. It’s no secret that the Merengues want to get their hands on a world-class striker. Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland are favored by Florentino Pérez. Yesterday, AS also explained that the Madrid president intends to give the Frenchman an ultimatum: from January 1, 2024, he will have fifteen days and not one more to announce his decision to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are all about Davies
If ever KM7, whose contract ends at PSG this summer, takes more time to decide on his future, the Spaniards will go for the Norwegian from Manchester City. In addition to this priority file, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium want to get their hands on a starting left back. Indeed, several Iberian media assure that Ferland Mendy is no longer part of the Casa Blanca plans. To replace him, Real Madrid has been thinking about Alphonso Davies for a while. The versatile Canadian player is rather seduced by the prospect of joining the Iberian capital.

Especially since the file for his contract extension at Bayern Munich has been dragging on for a while. Discussions began last season. But the departure of sports director Hasan Salihamidžić during the summer slowed down negotiations. Linked to the Bavarians until 2025, Davies is reaching a turning point and all parties are aware of it. Despite Real Madrid’s pressure, the 23-year-old has not yet decided. His club, which is counting on him, therefore still has every chance. But to convince him to stay, we will have to extend the currency.

The Canadian demands a big salary
AS et Bild explain this Thursday that the Canadian requires receiving one of the highest salaries in the squad to extend his lease, i.e. more than 15 million euros. At the start of 2023, Bayern Munich offered him 12 million per season, but he expected more. Almost a year later, the situation is still the same. Davies is demanding a big salary increase to continue to wear the Munich jersey. Under pressure, the German club, which feels the breath of Real Madrid on its neck, will have to revise its offer upwards. The problem is that this can have consequences in the locker room.
The Bavarian management does not want to give in for the moment, even if Thomas Tuchel multiplies the declarations of love for the player. “He is an indisputable holder. He knows that we appreciate him and for me, as a coach, it’s simple. He is in the right place, playing at the highest level in every game. The contractual situation of the players does not influence my work, Christoph Freund (sports director) and Jan-Christian Dreesen (CEO) take care of it. I have no doubt they will lay the foundations to make it all work.” It will be necessary because Madrid is ready to draw its offer for this summer of 2024.
