Two of Spain’s biggest clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid, are set to battle it out for Bayern Munich’s left-back, Alphonso Davies. The 24-year-old Canadian international, currently with Bayern, is set to become a free agent next summer. According to Bild, Davies is interested in a new challenge, potentially considering a move to another top club.
Barcelona’s current head coach, Hansi Flick, who previously managed Davies at Bayern, is reportedly eager to reunite with the player. This connection could give Barcelona an edge in the competition. However, Real Madrid is also highly interested in securing Davies and is prepared to make an offer before the next season.
Manchester United has also entered the transfer race, adding even more competition for Davies’ signature. Reports suggest that Bayern is ready to open negotiations but may face resistance from Davies himself, who appears inclined to seek opportunities elsewhere. The estimated transfer fee for Davies is around €50 million.
The intense competition between Barcelona and Madrid for Davies is reminiscent of other high-profile transfer races that highlight the global club rivalry within the football world. These scenarios often heighten fan anticipation and build excitement around the upcoming transfer windows.
