The agent of Alphonso Davies, Nedal Huoseh, has confirmed that until recently he was talking about a move to Real Madrid, one of the five clubs that were 'serious' about their interest in his client. On Tuesday, the left back of Bayern Munich committed his future to the Bavarian Giants on a long -term contract up to 2030, after conversations that lasted the best part of a year.
“There were always conversations with different clubs, and of course Real Madrid was one of them. But in the end no agreement was signed or a commitment was reached with a club, while we had left the door open for the player to evaluate all options, “he told Winwin, as quoted by Marca.
“Real Madrid was without a doubt a serious option and we had conversations with them, as well as with other clubs. But in the end a decision had to be made, and that was to stay in Bayern Munich. Of course, with all due respect for Real Madrid, a huge club, one of the most successful history. It is always an honor for every player to receive an offer from such a club, as well as from Bayern Munich or other large clubs in the Premier League. But in the end a decision had to be made, and in the beginning it was not easy because we were not sure what would happen to Bayern Munich, and the player was aware of it. So we kept all the options open on the table. “
Huoseh would further explain that, although he had conversations with Saudi Aarabia, the news was not happy to be public, because he did not want to make an important story of it, nor used it as a negotiating instrument. That is despite the fact that countless stories about negotiations with Bayern and Real Madrid, or interest from Liverpool, Barcelona and Manchester United.
“In the Premier League there was interest of two or three clubs, just like in Spain. However, the player's options were limited: only about five clubs showed genuine interest in signing him. If you leave a club like Bayern Munich, you don't have many high -level options because you are already in one of the best clubs in the world. “
About two weeks before the end of the transfer window it was reported that Davies had agreed to stay in Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid was left the race. Huoseh confirmed that conversations were still underway with Los Blancos until the last phases of January.
“We had conversations with them in January, together with three other European clubs, and Real Madrid was definitely one of them.”
It left Real Madrid in something of a difficult position. Since March last year, it was more or less reported in the Spanish capital as an assumption that Davies would arrive free of charge this summer. With question marks about Fran Garcia and Ferland Mendy, Los Blancos now has to calibrate their strategy for the left place in the coming years.
