Alphonso Davies wants to leave Bayern Munich and move to Real Madrid in the summer, a report claims, and Theo Hernandez is being lined up as his potential replacement.
Davies’ contract expires in 2025 and, according to Sky Germany, Bayern are demanding between €50-60m in order to let the 23-year-old leave, but negotiations begin from the position of knowing that the player wants the move.
An official offer has not yet been received but the signs point to farewell. Davies is demanding a total salary package of up to €20m net per year for a contract extension and the leadership at the Bundesliga club will not offer that.
Bayern want to be prepared in the event of a departure and Theo Hernandez is ‘one of the top candidates’ to come in and replace Davies. The Frenchman is under contract with the Rossoneri until 2026 but he is ‘open to a change’ after nearly five years at the club.
The Bavarian side are aware of Theo’s openness to listen to their pitch and the first discussions have subsequently taken place. A move is possible, although Milan would like to extend his contract again, while Bayern expect to pay €60-70m.
As a possible alternative, the Munich club have identified Miguel Gutierrez from LaLiga’s surprise team Girona. He has a release clause of €30-35m, but Theo is very much above him in the list of preferences.
