Agreement without signature between Real Madrid and Alphonso Davies

Real Madrid C.F.

REAL MADRID AND DAVIES CLOSE IN ON AGREEMENT, WHICH IS VERY ADVANCED

Twelve months. That is the period during which Alphonso Davies' name has been associated with Real Madrid. In early 2024, his signing with the white club seemed like a done deal. However, after his agent's interest was leaked, the negotiations cooled off. The Madrid club made it clear to him, already in the spring, that he would have to wait, just like with Kylian Mbappé. The Canadian accepted this condition and, over time, his decision seems to have been the right one. After that request for patience, Davies set forth a series of demands that Real Madrid is willing to meet, with only the date of January 2, 2025 remaining to formalize what has been agreed upon in a pre-contract.

Davies has kept his commitment. He has remained firm in his stance. Bayern has approached him on several occasions, making offers, but the player has turned them down. With each attempt, he has made it clear that his goal is a change of scenery with a destination at the Santiago Bernabéu. He knows that any doubt or double play could ruin everything, so he has been faithful to his decision. From that firmness, he made some requests that Valdebebas considers feasible. Both parties are aligned.

In recent weeks, Bayern tried to renew his contract due to his imminent departure. According to the German newspaper *Bild*, the Bavarian club made a final offer to Davies, whose contract expires at the end of this season, but it was rejected. The reality is that in recent months, Bayern seems to have accepted his departure.

Bayern's executives have insisted that they do not want to repeat the case of David Alaba, who left without bringing in any income for the club, but the situation no longer seems to be under their control.
