Alphonso Davies 'is closer to swapping Bayern for Real Madrid next summer'
Alphonso Davies is closer to a Real Madrid move next summer, according to a Spanish report which claims the Canadian international is willing to leave Bayern Munich next year.
Considered one of the world's best full-backs, Davies, who turned 23 on Thursday, has been part of the set-up at Bayern since 2018, making his club debut in January the following year.
However, it is thought that he is considering ending his time in Munich in 2024, a year before his contract ends, and joining Real Madrid, who have intensified talks with Davies' agent Nedal Huoseh in recent weeks.
Spanish outlet AS report on the latest developments in the deal, with Real looking to reinforce one of their weakest areas on the pitch.
Bayern has repeatedly tried to renew Davies' contract, without success, and signed Raphael Guerreiro last summer in case the Canadian international did leave, although the Portuguese player has not yet usurped Davies due to injury issues.
The German club have set a €50m (£43.4m) price on their star defender, although Mail Sport has previously revealed that Real Madrid think that price could come down to around £34m because of the short time left on his Bayern deal.
Bayern's general director Jan-Christian Dreesen, the executive who was the main man behind the summer signing of Harry Kane, will be in charge of setting the Canadian's asking price, and will be wary that he could leave for nothing in 2025.
Davies has started all nine of Bayern's league matches so far, and chalked up three assists from defence in that time.
Real Madrid have a history of luring Bayern Munich stars on cut-price deals, having signed club legend Toni Kroos for £22m in 2014 and Austria international David Alaba on a free transfer two years ago.
