Reports say that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich back Alphonso Davies have agreed to a deal over the phone.

The Athletic said that Real wants to sign the left-back either this summer or in 2025.

Davies’s deal with Bayern ends in 2025, and Real has asked him not to extend it since talks began.

Jun Calafat, Real’s chief scout, and Jose Angel Sanchez, the club’s director general, have both talked to Davies and his agents.

It’s been a while since the last meeting, but there was one in person earlier this month in Madrid.

Real’s first-choice left-back right now is Ferland Mendy, who has been with the team since 2019.

Canada international Davies, on the other hand, could soon take that spot, and he has also played as a left-wing back before.

Davies joined Bayern in 2018 and has played 180 times and scored nine goals for the team.

Davies has won the Champions League, five Bundesliga titles, the DFB-Pokal, and the Club World Cup with those big German teams.  

Real is currently in first place in La Liga, eight points ahead of Barcelona. 

Real Madrid is finally getting ready for Kylian Mbappe to arrive this summer, after the French captain agreed to take a pay cut of £8.5 million. 

Even though Mbappe lost out on his basic salary, he will get a big signing-on fee, which is thought to be over 100 million euros (£85.6 million). He will also get to keep 80% of the image rights for any new marketing deals he makes after joining Real Madrid. 

This is different from what the club usually does, which is to split the money 50/50 with new players.

Since Modric, who is 38 years old and from Croatia, has not been offered a new contract, Mbappe is likely to wear his number 10 shirt next season.

Madrid has confirmed that they have signed Mbappe, ending a seven-year search for the French World Cup winner. 

People in Madrid are happy that Ancelotti has decided to leave Paris for Madrid. They see it as the final piece in the puzzle that will allow him to lead a team that can rule European football for the next ten years.
