Manchester City is aware that Alphonso Davies, a transfer target, is set to join Real Madrid, despite the club’s interest in the Canadian international.
The search for a new left-back by Manchester City, prompted by a lack of natural choices in that position, may see them explore alternatives due to the likelihood of Davies moving to Real Madrid. Josko Gvardiol, who typically plays as a central defender, has been deployed on the left but has faced challenges, leading to the pursuit of Davies as a potential solution.
However, indications suggest that Manchester City is aware of Davies’ intention to join Real Madrid, and the club has been working on this for the past 18 months. Graeme Bailey, a HITC Football writer, notes that although Davies is on Manchester City’s radar, they acknowledge his likely move to Real Madrid and might consider signing another left-back in the upcoming summer.
While Davies has been an outstanding player in his position, contributing significantly to Bayern Munich’s success, Manchester City is exploring other left-back options, including Federico Dimarco from Inter Milan, and previously Alejandro Balde from Barcelona, whose interest has been declined. The situation is evolving as Manchester City navigates alternatives following their awareness of Davies’ potential move to Real Madrid.
