Real Madrid is preparing a 'bombshell' to cover themselves if Alphonso Davies renews with Bayern Munich. Theo Hernández would be the main player
The poor performances of Ferland Mendy and Fran García this season have made it a priority for Real Madrid to strengthen the left-back position next summer. In this scenario, Alphonso Davies has become the top priority for the whites to bolster the position, as the Canadian's contract ends in June and he could arrive as a free agent.
However, in recent days, there have been some approaches between Bayern Munich and the player to renew his commitment, and although nothing is concrete yet, alarms have been raised in the capital. The merengues have activated the machinery in search of a top-level 'plan B', and the chosen one would be Theo Hernández.
Is Theo's return to Madrid possible?
As reported by 'Calciomercato', where they claim that the whites have the Frenchman from AC Milan on their radar. At 27 years old, the defender has established himself as one of the best in the world in his position, and his contractual situation invites hope for his return to Santiago Bernabéu, where he was part of Zinedine Zidane's squad in the 2017/18 season with little prominence.
Now, more than 6 years after his departure, the player is back on Madrid's agenda. His link with the 'rossoneri' expires in 2026, and if he decides not to renew, he could be transferred next summer. An operation that will not be easy, as Manchester United is also after him and would not spare expenses to sign him.
Moreover, the Milanese team wants to extend his contract and will do everything possible to secure his signature. If they fail, they will put him on the market, although the base price for negotiating his sale would be 50 million euros. A high amount for Madrid, which will continue 'scouting' the market for left-backs while maintaining hope that Davies decides to wear white.
