All indications are that Alphonso Davies is very close to Real Madrid, but is this really the case? Bayern and Alphonso Davies are in trouble with a contract extension, the player is asking for a high salary of 14 million euros, Bayern are unwilling to accept it, and there is no progress in negotiations between the two sides. Real Madrid's probability of poaching Alphonso Davies is increasing, but it doesn't mean 100%. In addition, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has someone in mind and he is urging Florentino to make a move.
The 23-year-old Alphonso Davies is a rare talent, who has made a name for himself at a young age and proved himself well, and who wouldn't want him? However, the relationship between Real Madrid and Bayern is very good, and poaching will inevitably hurt the harmony. Real Madrid will only make a move if Davies strongly asks for a transfer. The plot is how it goes, but Real Madrid still faces a losing ending.
First of all, Alphonso Davies' salary is a big burden, and Real Madrid will not necessarily meet the demands of Canadians. In addition, Real Madrid is not the only one chasing Alphonso Davies, Manchester City in the Premier League is also eager to try, and Guardiola has been eyeing Davies for a long time. It is indisputable that Manchester City have an advantage over Real Madrid in terms of money and can meet salary requirements. You must know that Real Madrid's recruitment plan is not only one Davies, three ways at the back + center forward, which is a lot of expenses.
Ancelotti has a different opinion on this, and he has his eye on another Bundesliga player. According to the Spanish media "Dondiario", Ancelotti's desire for Grimaldo is higher than Davies, and the Leverkusen left-back has become Anshuai's first choice. In addition, Carlo Ancelotti has spoken to Florentino and Real Madrid are ready to make a move, at least Grimaldo is on Real Madrid's list of signings.
A true premium product, Grimaldo has been a phenomenal player this season. In 27 games this season, Grimaldo scored nine goals and provided nine assists for Bayer Leverkusen, which is a perfect statistic. Isn't a defender a phenomenon with such stats? Crucially, Grimaldo is both offensive and defensive, and his stats are balanced. I have to say that Ancelotti's vision is very accurate, and Grimaldo is very suitable for Real Madrid.
Grimaldo has only been with Bayer Leverkusen for one season, and his debut in the top five leagues has been eye-catching. In fact, Grimaldo's departure is a real probability, as Bayer Leverkusen is likely to "disintegrate" at the end of the season, and the team's Wirtz, Frimpong, Boniface and Inkapier have all been targeted. It is worth mentioning that Alonso is also likely to travel to Liverpool, which will also affect the player's decision.
If Real Madrid do see Grimaldo as their first-choice left-back, then Manchester City are in for a favour as they can compete for Alphonso Davies without hesitation. Of course, Alphonso Davies is still likely to renew his contract with Bayern, and there is no major conflict between the two sides, but they cannot agree on salary.
