Real Madrid wants to swap one of its first team stars in order to bring a summer transfer target to the Bernabeu next season, according to OK Diario director Eduardo Inda.
Los Blancos secured the signing of Palmeiras prodigy Endrick some time ago in late 2022, with the youngster set to cross the Atlantic after turning 18.
Furthermore, it appears as if Kylian Mbappe will also finally land in the Spanish capital after telling Paris Saint-Germain he will not renew his contract with them on June 30 as reported by The Athletic and other outlets.
According to MARCA, the Frenchman has penned a five-year deal with Madrid president Florentino Perez, though RMC Sport say nothing has been agreed.
Whether that is true or not, the 14-times Champions League winners have a third target in Alphonso Davies.
Last week, The Athletic reported that the Canadian has a verbal agreement in place with Madrid on the same day MARCA said that his current club Bayern Munich named their price.
It was reported that the Bavarians would accept a cut rate of $54 million for the left back.
In recent days, however, there have been claims that Bayern wants all of the $76 million Davies, whose contract expires in June 2025, is priced at.
This is a problem for Madrid, but Inda explained on El Chiringuito that there might be a solution at hand.
“Madrid want Alphonso Davies, I told you about it a year ago. The problem is that Bayern are asking for €70 million for a player who has one year left on his contract and Real Madrid see the possibility of offering a certain amount of money and Ferland Mendy,” Inda said.
Brought in to gradually phase out club legend Marcelo in 2019, Mendy’s future with the La Liga leaders is at risk if Madrid manages to get a deal over the line for Davies.
Mbappe’s France teammate has struggled for regularity thanks to a string of injuries, but he might still interest Bayern who will lose Davies for nothing just under 16 months from now the way things stand.
