Goodbye in 2025:Plan B that Real Madrid Doesn't Forget if Alphonso Davies Fails

The great alternative Real Madrid has to cover the left wing if they don't manage to transfer Davies

With the winter market approaching, Real Madrid is preparing for Alphonso Davies' transfer. While the Canadian's arrival is expected by next summer, his deal could be finalized starting January 1st. Despite the confidence in this transfer, the team has sought an alternative in case something ends up going wrong.

This has led Theo Hernández to be on Real Madrid's radar for a possible return. The relationship between the player and his coach, Paulo Fonseca, has become strained in recent days. The AC Milan manager has shown considerable dissatisfaction with the Frenchman's attitude.

This relationship has made him an almost certain departure for the summer market. Given his experience and leadership ability, Theo has been seen as a great alternative for Davies' transfer. However, his return to Valdebebas depends entirely on the Canadian.

A known Plan B

Having played a season with Real Madrid, Theo knows what it means to wear the Meringue jersey. While his stint with the team was short, the player managed to establish himself at Real Sociedad and AC Milan. Gaining the captaincy of the Italian team, the Frenchman is currently one of the most solid left wingers in Europe.

Despite having a contract until 2026, everything points to a departure for the Frenchman in the summer of 2025. His relationship with Fonseca has reached a point of no return for both.

While the club's target is Davies, Bayern Munich's intentions to renew the left-back have emerged as a threat. Despite the team's confidence in the Canadian's word, their interest in Theo shows their preparation for any situation.

Waiting for Davies

Theo Hernández would be a great transfer for Real Madrid, but the Frenchman will have to wait for the resolution of the Davies deal. The Canadian is the team's priority, so if his transfer is finalized, Theo would have to look for other alternatives for 2025.
