Alphonso Davies has decided to renew his contract with Bayern Munich. The Canadian thus rejects the offer from Real Madrid, which had assumed his signing was a done deal.
The saga of Alphonso Davies is about to come to an end. After several months of uncertainty, the Canadian has decided to renew with Bayern Munich, turning down offers from clubs like FC Barcelona and, above all, Real Madrid, where they had been 'cooking' his signing since last year and ended up receiving a new 'slap in the face'.
The future of the left-back was one of the 'hot' topics of the market in recent weeks, as when it seemed he had everything set to agree on his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu next summer, the Bavarians made a final effort to convince him to continue under Vincent Kompany and achieved their goal.
Thus, the merengues received a harsh blow in their planning for the next season, as, according to 'Relevo', they had a verbal agreement with Davies for a year. Despite this, the club's sports management was clear that they would not enter into bidding wars for the player, although the failed signing stings.
Davies followed the path of Yoro
And the case of the Canadian opened a wound in Chamartín, where they experienced a similar situation last summer with Leny Yoro. The French center-back was Madrid's main target for defense and his operation was well underway, but the player ultimately decided to join Manchester United in an unexpected turn of events.
These 'fiascos' call into question the signing policy of the Madridistas, who boast of paying with 'glory' but lately, only find themselves exposed. The whites refuse to spend millions on players whose contracts expire in a short period of time, running the risk that they end up accepting offers from other clubs that are more attractive both sportingly and financially.
Meanwhile, the 'stinginess' of Florentino Pérez will continue to work for fulfilling his personal whims, such as the remodeling of a stadium to which he invested more than a billion euros or the payment of a signing bonus of 150 million euros spread over five years to a Kylian Mbappé who had to be convinced with something more than 'glory', a 'currency' that is becoming less valuable in the capital.
