The fierce rivalry between Real Madrid and Manchester City has continued in recent years on and off the pitch, as the English club is one of Real Madrid’s most prominent European rivals at this time.
It is noteworthy that Manchester City is seeking to strengthen its ranks in order to continue to control the titles in England, but this time it clashes with Real Madrid.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central: The English club is still fighting fiercely to conclude a deal with Canadian star Alphonso Davies, whose contract expires on June 30.
The interest of major clubs in him is increasing, with Manchester City seeking to submit an attractive offer of about 15 million euros net, while Real Madrid sets a maximum of 9 million euros.
This large difference means that if Davies really aspires to play for the royal club, he will have to give up a large sum of money.
Real Madrid’s history shows that it is able to convince players to join its ranks despite the tempting financial offers, but it is also no stranger to seeing players prefer economic aspects over sportsmanship.
Despite Madrid’s optimism, things are still uncertain until the contract is signed and the plan is for Davies to join the team in January to be able to arrive in the summer of 2025, similar to what happened with Kylian Mbappé this year.
Manchester City are not at their most optimistic, as they feel that Alphonso Davies is strongly in favour of joining Real Madrid’s ambitious project. City know that constantly improving their squad will be crucial if they are to beat Real Madrid in the next decade.
For this reason, City are doing their best to outdo the Royal Club in these signings, especially since Davies is considered one of the most prominent stars of his generation in his position.
