Bayern Defender Davies Breaks Silence Amid Real Madrid Transfer Talk

Alphonso Davies has spoken out about his links to Real Madrid, but he has not indicated that he is trying to leave Bayern Munich.

The adaptable Canadian international has contracts with the Allianz Arena only through 2025, and there have been rumours that La Liga powerhouse Santiago Bernabeu will advise the gifted 23-year-old—who might end up playing left defence for them—not to sign a new deal.

That is because the Blancos are said to be readying a transfer raid for the summer of 2024, but Davies is turning a deaf ear to that speculation for now and has told Kicker when quizzed on his plans for the immediate future: “I feel very comfortable here. I play in an incredible team at one of the absolute top clubs in Europe. I stay focused and give everything for the team and our fans.”

Davies has been accused by some of taking his eye off the ball this season, as exit talk becomes an unwelcome distraction, but the 23-year-old has said of his efforts: “In 2020, nobody really had me on their list, I was a relatively unknown quantity and I delivered. After that, the expectations of me were of course greater. I think that on the whole I did justice to this, but of course not always, not in every game. There are very few players who really always manage to do that throughout their career. My style of play has changed a little since then. A little less tricks, a little less dribbling, a little less risk. But I understand other things better today than I did four years ago. Of course I have more experience today. But I’m still young and I want to continue learning and improving.”

It is unclear if that procedure will proceed in Germany or Spain, and there is little evidence that new accords will be finalised very soon in Munich. That means that Davies might swap playing alongside one England international star at Bayern, Harry Kane, for another one at Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham.
