K.O. with Alphonso Davies Reveals Real Madrid's True Plan for that Winger Position

The impossibility of getting Alphonso Davies's services has left much surprise in the European soccer elite. When everything seemed set for Bayern Munich's '19' to move to Santiago Bernabéu changing room, the offer sent by the white executives didn't convince him. This disposition has facilitated the rapprochement with the German team's leadership.

Davies's renewal with Bayern Munich is getting closer, according to information published in both Spain and Germany, opening a completely new scenario. The team coached by Carlo Ancelotti currently has two left wingers, a more than comfortable situation according to opinions from the Valdebebas offices.

The Reggiolo coach was one of the main architects of Ferland Mendy's renewal, as well as his great supporter in the club. However, the Ancelotti has also requested some transfers for all positions of the Meringue defensive line, severely 'punished' by injuries in the last two seasons. The poor performance of the French '23', one of his 'favorites', has increased Fran García's prominence.

For now, the performance of Bolaños de Calatrava's '20' has met the standards set in the Valdebebas offices. In the coaching staff, Davide Ancelotti has become his main defender against a Carlo Ancelotti who continues to bet every game on placing the left winger from Meulan-en-Yvelines.

All clarified

The 'battle' between Fran García and Ferland Mendy to definitively secure the starting position in Carlo Ancelotti's gala scheme would be more than enough for the white leadership. The information published by Mario Cortegana reveals the Madrid plan for that area of the field. To keep both players until the end of their contract.

Only when the limit of both players' contracts, 2027 summer, approaches, will the Valdebebas offices consider the options they have accumulated to achieve the renewal. The first team will have more than enough players in that position for two more years. Ao the executives led by Florentino are not actively seeking a left-back.

This statement from the 'The Athletic' journalist clarifies, at the same time, the nature of Alphonso Davies's transfer. Because the North American defender would have arrived with the status of a key starter, but his incorporation was only attempted because it worked as a market opportunity. Otherwise, Davies wouldn't have caught the attention of the Madridist sports management.

The generational change in defense seems to have concluded before it started in the left-back position. Ancelotti and his coaching staff will have to endure with Ferland Mendy and Fran García until the end of their time at the Madrid entity... unless during that time another market opportunity similar to Alphonso Davies's arises.
