Shock 5 Days before Transfering Davies: Florentino Does the Unexpected after Months

Real Madrid's president is still keeping an eye on what's happening in the transfer market

Even though Real Madrid's Christmas break still hasn't ended, the Valdebebas offices aren't ignoring any news the market brings. Especially because there are several transfers of great talents at stake, some of them as free agents.

One of the most recognizable and recognized names in this regard is Alphonso Davies. Bayern München's '19' has been for more than two years in one of the top positions on the club's list of potential transfers. However, according to the information published by the newspaper As, his situation could have changed radically in just a few days.

This newspaper reports that Alphonso Davies is no longer a priority for Madrid's sports management. The change of mind regarding the arrival of a world-class player surprises everyone, since Real Madrid is one of the best-positioned candidates to transfer him. The main reason for this change in the priority of transfering Davies is the situation of the left wing position.

Unlike the rest of the defense, that position would have enough players to ensure rotation: Ferland Mendy and Fran García. The Valdebebas offices understand that, despite the irregular performance of the French '23', both players are capable of keeping that problematic position under control.

It remains

Despite this change of opinion by the board led by Florentino Pérez, Davies remains one of the most reliable candidates to sign this summer. Because the club's leaders consider him a market opportunity and hope he doesn't renew with Bayern München.

The way the possible transfer of Davies has developed, who has left doubts about his decision to continue his career, is a reason for change. Because Bayern's "19" continues to analyze and study the approaches from both Bayern München and Real Madrid as well as some Premier League clubs interested in his services.

It would be those doubts when choosing an option to remain in the European soccer elite that would have decisively influenced the decision made by Madrid. Because Davies remains in the club's sights, but the impossibility of his transfer is a very considered option.

Real Madrid will continue to monitor the transfer status of Davies, who has lost a lot of ground to wear the white jersey starting next summer. In addition to the players already present in Santiago Bernabéu locker room, the club's executives have an exhaustive list of "plan B's".
