Real Madrid has perfected its strategy of finalizing signings in advance and avoiding large outlays in tense negotiations with other clubs. After securing Kylian Mbappé last season, the Blancos' roadmap now focuses on Alphonso Davies, the left-back from Bayern Munich. The Canadian, considered one of the best in his position, has entered the final year of his contract, allowing Madrid to play with timing and avoid unnecessary payment for his transfer.

Madrid has patiently managed the Davies operation, resisting Bayern's pressure to sell the player for a substantial amount. The Bavarian club was unwilling to let the player go for less than 25 million euros, but the Chamartín team preferred to wait. Madrid's main idea is clear: not to pay for a player who could arrive for free. As of January 1, 2025, Davies will be legally able to sign with another club, and Madrid has already prepared the ground for that to happen.

During the summer, the Whites' board made it clear that they would not make hasty moves for Davies, as the coaching staff, led by Carlo Ancelotti, trusts that Ferland Mendy and Fran García can cover the left-back position during this season. Additionally, with the eventual return of David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga, the team has enough defensive versatility to not need Davies immediately.

Excellent Madrid-Bayern Relationships

Madrid's strategy has not only been effective financially but also diplomatically. The relations between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are excellent, and the Whites' leadership has handled the situation with the utmost discretion to not damage those ties. From Bayern's headquarters in Munich, it has been accepted with resignation that Davies will fulfill his contract until June 30, 2025, allowing him to join Madrid at no cost.

Although the club will not make the operation public until absolutely necessary, everything indicates that Davies will be the next big name to strengthen the left flank of the Santiago Bernabéu, following in the footsteps of legends like Roberto Carlos and Marcelo. Madrid has played its cards intelligently, and the arrival of the Canadian seems increasingly inevitable.
