Real Madrid already have Endrick Felipe and Kylian Mbappe coming in at the end of the summer, but chances are their inbound transfer business won't be done here. Defensive additions are the most likely to happen, with Alphonso Davies and Leny Yoro having been heavily linked in recent months.
Davies has been a long-term target for Los Blancos, and the idea is for him to be their new left-back, succeeding Ferland Mendy. However, his negotiations with Bayern Munich have not borne fruit up to this stage, which has caused the club's owners to lose hope of a deal for this summer.
According to AS DiaryReal Madrid do not expect to land Davies in 2024. They see that Bayern's price is too high, and those in the club also believe that the Bavarians are ready to lose the Canadian international for free next summer when the his contract will expire. .
Real Madrid would have preferred to sign Davies now for a respectable fee, but they also agree to take him for nothing in 2025. However, with him staying, it increases the chances of signing a new contract, which would mean that Los Blancos fail to sign him at all.
It means that Mendy and Fran Garcia continue as the left-back options for Real Madrid next season, something that would please Carlo Ancelotti given his affinity for the former in particular. It also means that more funds can be put towards Yoro.
