Real Madrid Knows the Price of Their 'Big Signing' for the Left Back

After a catastrophic start to the season, Real Madrid will seek to make several authoritative moves in the transfer market this summer. The club's management has admitted their mistake in planning the squad for the current season and will look to strengthen several positions, with the left back being one of them.

Alphonso Davies was the top priority for the whites due to the possibility of signing him as a free agent at the end of the season, but the high financial demands of the Canadian and the existing doubts about his potential renewal with Bayern Munich have cooled the interest of the Madridistas, who may have already chosen their 'plan B'.

Madrid Already Knows the Price of Theo Hernández

It is Theo Hernández, a defender who played at Santiago Bernabéu in the 17/18 season and has returned to the club's radar due to his spectacular performance at Milan. The Frenchman established himself as one of the best in the world in his position at San Siro, but under Paulo Fonseca, he has been relegated to the bench due to issues both on and off the field, and his situation in Serie A is delicate.

The Frenchman's contract expires in 2026, and negotiations for his renewal are stalled, which is why the 'rossoneri' would not mind selling him. Although the player would like to stay, the Milanese would want to part ways with him even during the upcoming winter market for a figure slightly below 50 million euros, as reported by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'.

An amount that exceeds the financial expectations of a Madrid that intended to upgrade the position at zero cost with Davies, but in light of the existing risk with the Canadian, who is expected to continue under Vincent Kompany next season, they might concede in their demands and go for the signing of the French left back.
