Chelsea, Liverpool & Manchester City skeptical over chances of signing Alphonso Davies
Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are all interested in signing Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, but ultimately believe the player wants to join Real Madrid, 90min understands.
Davies has established himself as one of the world’s leading left-backs since leaving Vancouver Whitecaps for Bayern back in 2018. Despite only recently turning 23, he has played 171 times and won 13 major honours during his time in Bavaria.
90min revealed last month that Chelsea and reigning Premier League champions City were monitoring Davies ahead of the expiry of his Bayern contract in 2025, with Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on the Canada international.
But the quartet are wary of their chances in landing him. Sources have told 90min that, like Bayern, all other parties believe Davies has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid next summer. Bayern are trying to tie him down to a new contract but he is showing little desire to commit his future to the Bundesliga champions.
Real Madrid’s summer budget is likely to be spent financing a move for Davies and wrapping up the free transfer of Kylian Mbappe from PSG, and reports across Europe have suggested that Davies and 14-time Champions League winners Madrid have already agreed terms over a move.
Davies’ agent, Nedal Huoseh, has scoffed at the rumours though, telling TZ: “That’s inaccurate. Right now, Phonzy is at Bayern Munich, that’s where his focus is.”
Huoseh recently fuelled speculation that Davies could leave Bayern by suggesting that various clubs from all over the continent would look to bring in his client.
“There is interest from many teams. I read the same articles on the internet, but in the end we will see what happens in the coming months,” Huoseh told 365 Scores. “I am sure that Real Madrid can be one of the clubs that would like to sign Davies, along with several English Premier League clubs. They all want to have one of the best left-backs in the world.”
Davies has played 18 games for Bayern across all competitions so far this season, registering three assists. Following the club-record signing of Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, they are among the favourites to win this season’s Champions League.
