Real Madrid make breakthrough in Alphonso Davies transfer pursuit with Bayern Munich defender 'much closer' to joining Los Blancos following crunch talks in Germany

According to Marca, Davies' agent and Bayern have been in talks over the past week but a contract extension is yet to be agreed upon. The report adds that the Canadian's representative, Nedal Huoseh, has given the order for lawyers to draw up contracts over a Madrid move. Los Blancos are said to be 'confident' the 24-year-old's desire to play for them will end up tipping the scales in their favour.

Davies reportedly agreed terms with Madrid nearly a year ago but no contracts have been signed. The report states Bayern have offered to make the left-back the club's second highest-paid player behind striker Harry Kane but so far, the Bundesliga team is yet to make a breakthrough in negotiations. An intriguing few months lie ahead, with Davies out of contract this summer.

Manchester United have also been linked with the Canada international, who joined Bayern from Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018 and has since played more than 200 games for the German giants.

Contract and transfer speculation aside, Davies will be focusing on table-topping Bayern's upcoming Bundesliga clash at home to Wolfsburg on Saturday.
