According to Fichajes.net, Arsenal and Liverpool have joined Real Madrid in the pursuit of Bayern Munich's left-back Alphonso Davies. Both Premier League giants are eager to strengthen their defenses.
Alphonso Davies' contract with Bayern is nearing its expiration, and he has been rumored to be joining Real Madrid. The Spanish club hopes to sign him during the January transfer window or secure a free transfer when his contract ends in the summer.
Davies has not only received high praise in the Bundesliga but is also considered one of the best players in Europe at present. The 24-year-old has made over 200 appearances for Bavaria and has become a regular in the first team under new coach Vincent Kompany.
While Real Madrid is preparing to sign Davies, Arsenal and Liverpool also hope to convince the Canadian defender to join their plans in the Premier League. Arsenal is believed to need a reliable left-back replacement, while the Merseyside club is looking for a player who can make a greater impact at left-back than Robertson and Tsimikas.
In this interest, journalist David Ornstein recently reported in The Athletic that Bayern Munich is close to agreeing on a new contract with the defender.
Alphonso Davies joined Bayern from Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2019. He has made 219 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and providing 34 assists for the Bavarians.
Real Madrid is eyeing an Arsenal defender
According to French media outlet Foot Mercato, Real Madrid is already planning for next season and hopes to sign Arsenal defender William Saliba.
Over the past few months, due to their defensive line being plagued by injuries this season, the Spanish giants have been linked with numerous defenders. Two of their defenders, Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, have missed the season after suffering anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
According to the above sources, Real Madrid wants a young, fast, dynamic defender who can easily win duels and knows how to defend in open spaces. The report further adds that before Lenny Jolo chose to join Manchester United, the Spanish giants tried to sign him in the summer.
In their search for a defender with the aforementioned qualities, Saliba's profile is said to be very attractive to the Spanish giants. The Frenchman has been a key figure in Arsenal's defense, missing only two Premier League games this season.
