Last season, Manchester City and Real Madrid met in the Champions League semi-finals, with Pep Guardiola’s club coming out on top. With the way things are going in this campaign, with both teams performing at a high level, it would not be surprising if the two ended up meeting in Europe’s elite competition again.
However, it appears that Real Madrid and Manchester City may be competing in ways other than on the field. They appear to share a transfer target as well.
It is no secret that Real Madrid could need some reinforcements in a number of places. One of them is a left defender. While Ferland Mendy’s long-term future at the club is uncertain,
Fran Garcia has been inconsistent since joining the team last summer.
Alphonso Davies is one player they have been linked with. His current contract expires in the summer of 2025, and he has yet to agree to an extension with Bayern Munich. However, Real Madrid is not the only team keeping an eye on his position.
Manchester City is interested in a high-profile Real Madrid target.
Manchester City are preparing a move for Davies, according to Defensa Central (via Fichajes). They are willing to go all out for the Bayern Munich player since they have one of the best initiatives in Europe.
Real Madrid would benefit greatly from the arrival of someone like Davies. He is regarded as one of Europe’s greatest left-backs despite being only 22 years old.
As a result, he checks practically every box that the club looks for when signing players.
Of course, Real Madrid’s task is made more difficult by the competition for Manchester City. It would also be a mistake to dismiss the possibility of Davies signing a contract extension with Bayern Munich.
