Real Madrid appear to be close to signing Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer, with the French star set to join the Blancos before the start of the new season and become another important addition to the squad alongside Endrick.
However, Real Madrid's pace of recruitment did not stop there. In addition to Mbappe and Endrick, they are also looking for other suitable players in the transfer market, particularly at full-back.
Alphonso Davies is one of the favourites for Real Madrid to bring in this summer. They are looking to further strengthen their defence with the introduction of the high-quality left-back.
With Davies' contract with Bayern Munich set to expire in 2025 and he himself does not seem willing to renew his contract, he is a big target for Real Madrid. According to reports, Davies has expressed his interest in joining Real Madrid.
Now, Fabrizio Romano, a well-known European journalist, has given an update on the transfer rumours of Davies. The Italian journalist said Real Madrid are willing to wait until 2025 if Bayern's asking price is too high this summer.
Bayern Munich's transfer fee request for Davies could be as high as 70 million euros, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for Real Madrid, who have already spent huge sums of money to bring in Mbappe and Endrick.
Therefore, Real Madrid are willing to wait until 2025, when they can sign Davies on a free transfer without having to pay any transfer fee. While this could give other European giants a chance to preemptively bring in Davies, Real Madrid are confident that the Canada international is keen to join the squad and his commitment to fulfilling his current contract.
In this case, Davies could turn down Bayern Munich's transfer offer this summer, opting to stay at the Allianz Arena to continue his contract. For Real Madrid, their wait could be in 2025 for the long-awaited left-back reinforcement.
