Real Madrid renew Alphonso Davies interest

Alphonso Davies

Real Madrid remain keen to take Alphonso Davies to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, according to The Athletic.

The Canadian full-back is a long-term target for the La Liga giants, who are looking for a permanent solution to the left-back position.

Ferland Mendy has done a decent job in the 2023-24 campaign, but his lack of attacking impetus has forced the club to consider an upgrade. Davies is an ideal fit for the job and has been on the La Liga giants' radar for a while. The 23-year-old's contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire at the end of next season and he hasn't signed an extension yet.

The Bavarians consider him a key part of their plans and are already engaged in talks regarding a new deal. However, they are reluctant to meet Davies' demands for an annual pay package of €20m. The Bundesliga giants have offered him a new contract worth €13m per year, but it isn't up to the player's liking.

Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on the situation and are ready to prise him away. Bayern Munich will offload Davies if he continues to stall a new deal but are likely to ask for €50m to let him go.

Los Blancos are reluctant to pay such a fee for a player in the final year of his deal and could instead wait to lap him up for free in 2025. Recent reports have suggested that personal terms between the player and the La Liga giants won't be a problem.

Los Blancos make Arda Guler decision

Arda Guler

Real Madrid have decided against a loan departure for Arda Guler this summer, according to acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Turkish youngster international arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu from Fenerbahce last summer with a big reputation.

However, Guler has struggled to live up to the billing, owing to injuries and intense competition for places at Real Madrid. Nevertheless, the 19-year-old enjoyed a strong finish to the campaign, scoring six goals in his last seven appearances in La Liga.

Guler's situation has prompted interest from multiple clubs across the continent. Los Blancos have reportedly received multiple offers to take the Turkish midfielder on loan next season. However, the Spanish giants have turned them down.

The La Liga champions are adamant that Guler will stay at the Santiago Bernabeu and continue his development under Carlo Ancelotti. The 19-year-old is also happy to fight for his place at Real Madrid and hasn't asked to leave.

Real Madrid working on Nacho Fernandez's renewal

Nacho Fernandez

Real Madrid have offered Nacho Fernandez a new deal, according to MARCA. The veteran defender's contract is set to expire at the end of this month and he remains heavily linked with an exit this summer.

Nacho rose through the ranks at the Santiago Bernabeu and spent his entire career with Los Blancos. He has been a constant in the first-team squad over the years and was handed the armband after the departure of Karim Benzema last summer.

Recent reports have stated that the 34-year-old is seeking regular football and is willing to try a new adventure this year. The La Liga giants, however, want him to stay and have already offered him a new proposal. Real want the player to respond before the end of this month.

Should Nacho decide to leave, Los Blancos will be forced into the market for a replacement, which will not be ideal for their plans. There's considerable interest in the player's services from the MLS.
