Vesper 31,037 Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 Real Madrid reach verbal agreement with Alphonso Davies over transfer from Bayern Munich https://theathletic.com/5294621/2024/02/26/alphonso-davies-real-madrid-transfer/ Real Madrid and Alphonso Davies have reached a verbal agreement for the Bayern Munich left-back to join in 2024 or 2025. The La Liga club — led by chief scout Juni Calafat and director general Jose Angel Sanchez — have been in contact with Davies’ camp for some time and have asked him since the beginning of the talks not to renew his contract with Bayern, which expires in 2025, so he can join them. There have been several meetings in recent weeks, including one in person in Madrid in mid-February, which have accelerated the process further. There are two options on the table with Real open to doing a deal for a below-market price this summer — much like Toni Kroos’ move in 2014 — or the following year when Davies’ contract ends, like David Alaba in 2021. Despite preliminary interest from rivals Barcelona as well as clubs in England, who have been monitoring the situation, Davies’ preference at this stage is to move to Madrid. The two clubs are yet to open negotiations with the Bundesliga champions still trying to convince the player to extend and having turned down approaches with offers for potential replacements for the Canada international in recent months. Bayern don’t want to lose the 23-year-old for free, however, and if they cannot strike a deal on fresh terms will attempt to maximise a fee for him in a sale this summer. A deal for Kylian Mbappe remains Real’s No 1 priority for the summer — and they expect him to join — but any move for the France international won’t preclude a pursuit for Davies as well. Ferland Mendy has been Madrid’s first-choice left-back this season with Fran Garcia also filling in on occasion. Davies joined Bayern from MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2019 and has gone to make 180 appearances for the club, winning the Bundesliga title five times and was part of the Champions League-winning team in 2020. He has played 27 times in all competitions for Bayern this season, scoring one goal and adding three assists.

He will have options, plenty of them, so theres no doubt we will be near the bottom of any list. For any reasonably good player not just him. Let’s be real, why would anyone half decent want to come here when things are this bad? And throwing another £150-200m at young u21 players again this summer is going to do fuck all to fix the problems we have running from top to bottom of the club. This summer window is going to be brutal in all honesty. No longer got that safety from previous seasons with the older regime where we would have still attracted top top players & top top managers. Or that optimism like the first 2 windows when Boehly & Clearlake came in. Completely different now. This group and managers already written off and any chance of even slightly reversing a wee bit of this is going to take a lot of work.

Yeah, last summer was probably our last chance and we fucked up. I still don't understand what they are trying to do, they aren't targeting top echelon youngsters neither going for ready made top players, simply buying whatever and hope they turn good.

Vesper 31,037 Posted February 29, 2024 Share Posted February 29, 2024 On 31/01/2023 at 05:38, Vesper said: Many clubs scouting €70m Porto midfielder https://thedailybriefing.io/i/142090595/many-clubs-scouting-m-porto-midfielder Alan Varela has impressed for Porto and was particularly strong in their recent Champions League win over Arsenal, showing what he can do on the biggest stage against the best opponents. There have been reports doing the rounds of several top teams scouting Varela, including Manchester City, but for now my understanding is that it is just normal scouting activity, and nothing more advanced than that. Many clubs are sending scouts to follow the 22-year-old midfielder as he’s been excellent for Porto in the recent months. I’m also told he has €70m release clause into his contract, and we know how difficult is to negotiate with Portuguese clubs, so this could be a difficult deal if any suitors come forward in the summer.

This season in 36 games so far we have already scored 64 goals and conceded 49. So in 14 games less we scored 14 goals more. This is huge difference. But with 13 PL games left and one more at least in Cup it is clear we will concede more than last season. So imo defense has not been good at all even last season but this season it is even worse. But by the look of it Poch improved our attack and this is still with Nkunku out for most of the season. Last season best goalscorers had: 9, 9, 4, 3 goals. This season they are on: 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 4. So much better and like I said still plenty games to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
