L’Equipe said that the Gray Tigers are looking to recruit a defender who plays very well for Real Madrid this season.

According to L’Equipe newspaper (via AZ), Bayern Munich is looking to sign Real Madrid left-back Ferland Mendy.

Over the past few months, there have been rumors between Real and Bayern regarding Alphonso Davies. With the Spanish giants identifying the Canadian as their dream left-back, they have been doing their best to secure his signature.

Davies’ contract at the Allianz Arena expires in 2025, meaning he will be free to leave next summer. However, while Real is willing to wait, they have also hinted at signing the 23-year-old player right at the end of this season.

Therefore, it is understandable that Bayern would be willing to allow Davies to leave for a lower price. However, a swap agreement between the two clubs is now the Gray Tigers’ wish.

If Davies signs for Los Blancos, Mendy will no longer be the number one left-back, making him redundant In the Spanish capital. Therefore, the German champions believe that an exchange deal will be completely feasible

Regardless, their priority remains to ensure that Davies stays at the club. A new contract was recently offered to the Canadian, but it remains to be seen whether he will decide his future in Bavaria or Madrid.
