It Wasn't Money: They Reveal the Real Reason Why Real Madrid Discarded Davies

The reason why Alphonso Davies's signing ended up being discarded by Real Madrid

Didac Aguirre

For several months, one of the names most associated with Real Madrid was Alphonso Davies. The talented Canadian full-back caught the club's attention to be the new leader of their left flank for the upcoming season. However, the player ended up renewing his contract with Bayern Munich after being ruled out by the white club.

While it was initially thought that the reason for this exclusion was an economic issue, the reality is very different. The reason the Canadian was ruled out was due to testing positive in a breathalyzer test. Florentino Pérez, in light of this, changed his opinion regarding a player who had serious off-field issues.

Being a club that has always cared about its image, Real Madrid lost interest in Davies's transfer. The fact that the player could play with Bayern was also part of the reason for this exclusion.

The Real Reason for Florentino Pérez

At 24 years old, Alphonso Davies was considered one of the best left-backs in the world. Improving his level during his time at Bayern Munich, the Canadian was aiming to leave the Bavarian club at the end of this season. With a contract that was ending in a few months, Real Madrid was preparing to welcome him.

However, despite how ready Davies was to wear white, the club made the right decision with his exclusion. No matter how talented the Canadian is, Real Madrid is not a club that tolerates off-field attitudes like the one the player took.

This exclusion demonstrates the firm hand and cool mind that Florentino Pérez has when making decisions to sign new players. Davies is the perfect example that, even with the club's interest, everything can change with an unacceptable attitude.

The Difference Between Teams

This situation has also demonstrated the difference between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with their players. With this, Davies completely distances himself from Madrid and opens the door to another signing. A signing that may bring more joy than expected to the white club and fewer problems.
