Reports say that a third top player could join Bayern Munich instead of signing with Real Madrid. Real Madrid wants to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool and Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich.

Two new centre forwards have joined Real Madrid. Endrick finally moved to the Spanish city after a £51 million deal was agreed upon in December 2022, and Kylian Mbappe finally made the long-awaited move from Paris Saint-Germain.

Madrid didn’t have to pay any transfer fees for Mbappe because he chose to play out his PSG deal. However, they did have to pay the French superstar a huge £128 million signing-on bonus.

The team that Carlo Ancelotti now has at his hands is amazing. It has world-class forwards like Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo.

In the next five years or more, it will be hard to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League. But club president Florentino Perez is already looking ahead to the next big deals that can be made.

Dani Carvajal is now 32 years old, and Ferland Mendy isn’t quite at the top level, even though he did have a good 2023–24 season. Perez knows that he needs to change Madrid’s full-back choices.

Reports from Europe say that Perez is “working” on deals for Liverpool right back Alexander-Arnold and Bayern left back Davies. Both players’ contracts end in June 2020, so Perez will try to make another big signing like Mbappe.

Of course, Liverpool and Bayern are working hard to get new contracts for their players so that Madrid can’t get them. Both Alexander-Arnold and Davies, on the other hand, want to play for and win big trophies with Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold and Davies were both wanted by Real Madrid as players.

This means that the English and Canadian stars might decide to wait six months before talking to their managers about possible next steps.

Alexander-Arnold and Davies are great players that Real Madrid should sign. For Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold has shown that he can make chances out of almost nothing. He is a dangerous right back.

The 25-year-old’s amazing shooting skills would help players like Mbappe and Bellingham score even more goals. It’s possible for him to shine in midfield as well, and Bellingham is trying very hard to get him to move to the Bernabeu.

Davies is also very dangerous for a full-back, but in a different way. The 23-year-old is one of the fastest stars in the world, so he can blow past players and either cross the ball or shoot it himself.

Defenders from the other team would be very scared of a left side with Davies and either Mbappe or Vinicius.

Florian Wirtz, a star player for Bayer Leverkusen, is another great player that Perez wants. Perez believes Wirtz has everything it takes to be a great success at Real Madrid. He was named Bundesliga Player of the Season and played very well for Germany at Euro 2024.

It is thought that the winners of the Champions League will be able to make a €150 million (£126 million) deal to get Wirtz to leave Leverkusen. But German reporter Georg Holzner says that Madrid will have to deal with tough competition because Bayern Munich also really likes what the attacking player has to offer.

No matter what it takes, Bayern is ready to “go all out” and win the race for Wirtz next summer.

This kind of move would be great for both Bayern and Leverkusen. It would greatly improve Bayern’s attack and make Leverkusen’s much weaker.

Wirtz might be able to work with Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso at Madrid, though. Because of how well he has done at the Bay Arena, Alonso is thought to be the favourite to take over from Ancelotti either at the end of the 2024–25 season or when the Italian’s deal ends in June 2026.

Ancelotti has been a great servant to Real Madrid, leading them to three Champions Leagues in two stints. He is now 65 years old and is planning to leave soon. Perez will also not want to miss the chance to start a great new era with Alonso in charge.
