This weekend, Real Madrid will compete in the 2023/24 Champions League final. If they defeat Dortmund and claim the European title once more, the football world will have to once again salute the president of “Los Blancos,” Florentino Perez. Although “Galacticos 3.0” is still not fully complete, Real Madrid has already showcased an overwhelming strength.
This summer, the Bernabeu is expected to make quality additions. The first name is Kylian Mbappe, who has confirmed his departure from PSG on a free transfer, with Real Madrid as his likely destination.
Additionally, Real Madrid is likely to sign another high-quality player, Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich. According to Relovo, Real Madrid has already reached a personal agreement with the Canadian left-back. Bayern Munich’s contract with Davies has one year remaining, and if they cannot extend it, they plan to sell him this summer to recover funds.
Sources say the issue lies in salary negotiations. Bayern Munich offered to raise Alphonso Davies’ salary from 11 million to 13 million euros per year, while Real Madrid promises a significantly higher wage. Currently valued at 50 million euros on Transfermarkt, Davies’ price may decrease as his contract approaches expiration, giving Real Madrid leverage. If negotiations drag into the winter transfer window, Bayern risks losing him for free under the Bosman rule. Despite a less impressive season, Davies remains a standout with notable speed and dribbling skills, highlighted by his goal against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
