Real Madrid is interested in signing Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies before he makes a decision on his contract with Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid’s interest in Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies remains strong as the player has yet to commit his future to the Bundesliga club. Talks for a potential contract extension are ongoing in Germany, but Real Madrid had already agreed terms with Davies.

According to The Athletic, Davies has a big decision to make in the coming weeks or months. His current contract with Bayern Munich expires in 2025, and the club does not want to risk losing him for free. Real Madrid is lurking ominously, as they have admired Davies for some time. Talks between the club and Davies’ representatives were held in February, indicating a possible move to Spain.

However, Davies has not solely set his sights on Madrid. Relations with Bayern have remained professional, and discussions about his future have continued, even during the week of their Champions League semi-final against Madrid. Sources suggest that talks with Bayern have been progressing well, and the German club is hopeful of reaching an agreement to keep Davies in Munich, especially with Madrid going quiet.

In other news, there are persistent rumors of Ederson’s departure from Manchester City to the Saudi Pro League, with the Brazilian being a big-money target. To secure a replacement, Manchester City has extended Stefan Ortega’s contract until 2026. Ortega has expressed his ambitions of taking Ederson’s place but acknowledges that the Brazilian has not asked to leave and City has received no offers for him.

Newcastle United has made a bid for Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, with an offer in the region of £16 million. Talks between the clubs have taken place, and discussions are ongoing. Newcastle sees Trafford as competition for their current No. 1 goalkeeper, Nick Pope. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich have also shown interest in the 21-year-old.

Lastly, Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva is hoping to convince Benfica midfielder Joao Neves to join him at the Etihad. Manchester United has been interested in the teenager for some time, despite his high release clause. Silva is trying to persuade Neves to choose Manchester City over their rivals. Benfica has a £103 million release clause for the defensive midfielder, but that hasn’t deterred Premier League clubs from pursuing him.
