Real Madrid have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies.
As reported by The Athletic, Real are eager to sign the left back either this summer or in 2025.
Davies’ contract at Bayern expires in 2025 and since talks got underway Real have asked him not to extend his deal.
Real’s chief scout Juni Calafat and director general Jose Angel Sanchez have both been in contact with Davies and his representatives.
In recent weeks several meetings have taken place, including one in person earlier this month in Madrid.

Ferland Mendy, who has been at the club since 2019, is currently Real’s first-choice left back.
However, Canada international Davies could soon take over that spot, while he also possesses experience of playing as a left wing back.
Davies joined Bayern in 2018 and has made 180 appearances for the club, while he has scored nine goals.
During his time at the Bavarian giants, Davies has won the Champions League, five Bundesliga titles, the DFB-Pokal and the Club World Cup.
Real are currently top of LaLiga with an eight-point lead over Barcelona.
Los Blancos are preparing for the arrival of Kylian Mbappe this summer at long last, the French skipper agreeing to an £8.5million pay cut.
Despite losing out in terms of basic wage Mbappe will be paid a sizeable signing on fee understood to be over 100m euros (£85.6m) and will keep an 80 per cent share of image rights on any new commercial deals he signs after becoming a Madrid player.
This breaks from the normal 50-50 split the club usually imposes on new players.
