Real Madrid are now very close to sign €50m Barcelona full-back target.”

Barcelona’s Pursuit of Alphonso Davies Intensifies Amidst Real Madrid Interest
As FC Barcelona looks to strengthen their squad following a summer focused primarily on their attacking options, the Catalan giants have set their sights on the full-back position. With current replacements for Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde being relatively inexperienced, the urgency to bring in a seasoned player has escalated.

One name prominently linked to Barcelona is Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies. The Canadian international’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and negotiations for a renewal have reportedly stalled. Recent reports from Germany indicate that Bayern Munich is losing hope in retaining the talented defender, with tensions rising between the club and his agent, Nick Huoseh. Following a contentious meeting, Bayern’s management believes that Huoseh disrespected the club, leading to a breakdown in their relationship. As a result, Bayern has shifted to directly contacting Davies in hopes of convincing him to extend his stay.

According to Bild, Real Madrid has emerged as the frontrunner in the race for Davies, with a price tag of €50 million. Although Manchester United and Barcelona have also expressed interest, Davies appears to be gravitating towards Los Blancos, particularly given that few clubs can meet his salary demands. While the Red Devils were prepared to match those demands, the player reportedly lacks faith in their sporting project.

Barcelona, while intrigued by the prospect of signing Davies, faces financial constraints that may hinder their ability to finalize a deal. Nevertheless, the club is optimistic about leveraging Davies’ existing rapport with head coach Hansi Flick, which could facilitate a potential move.

With the January transfer window approaching, Davies will soon be free to negotiate with any interested parties, which could lead to a clearer picture of his future. Although Real Madrid currently leads the pursuit, Barcelona remains hopeful of securing the talented full-back before the window closes.
