Real Madrid Launches 'Plan B' after the K.O. with Davies, It's Very Close

One of the main concerns at Real Madrid for the upcoming season are both wing positions. At the white club, according to the latest information, they believe it is advisable to strengthen the flanks before other positions. 

The plan for the right flank is on track. Regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold, there are no more updates because everything is already settled. The English player will join Real Madrid completely free after not wanting to renew his contract with the Anfield team.

However, problems have arisen on the opposite flank. Alphonso Davies, who was another key transfers, decided in recent days to renew with Bayern Munich. According to German media, the Bavarian club has reportedly given in to the Canadian's pressures. And the offer will be accepted by the player and his agents.

What solutions is Real Madrid exploring?

After Davies's refusal, Real Madrid has had to look at other possibilities to strengthen the left flank. One of them is Miguel Gutiérrez, a name that already appeared in the past to return to the White House. The academy player, who continues to shine at Girona, could be the definitive solution to Madrid's problems.

Currently, Real Madrid has Ferland Mendy and Fran García on the left flank, two players who are improved by Miguel Gutiérrez. The Spanish player has a greater presence in attack, better ability to combine inside, and good defensive characteristics.

The best economic option for Real Madrid

Another important aspect is the money. Real Madrid doesn't have Miguel Gutiérrez on loan, but they do retain 50% of his rights. For this reason, Florentino Pérez and company know that the full-back would be much cheaper than other signings. 

Specifically, Miguel Gutiérrez would cost a total of 8 million euros. Girona is obliged to sell the Spaniard for that amount if Real Madrid requests it. There are no full-backs at that price on the market, so it is undoubtedly one of the best options. 

We will have to be alert to the decisions made at Real Madrid regarding the future of Miguel Gutiérrez. What is clear is that the player has shown in recent years that he can have a place in the first Madridist team,
