Manchester United are still alive in their pursuit of Alphonso Davies as the star’s agent has revealed that a deal with Real Madrid has yet to be struck.
Real Madrid are looking for quality players to replace Ferland Mendy and Dani Carvajal. The Spanish giants have identified Bayern Munich ace Alphonso Davies and Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold as their dream targets for the left-back and right-back positions.

On Friday, it was claimed that Alexander-Arnold is already planning his Liverpool exit in detail, and that Real Madrid are speeding up their pursuit of Davies. Both players are out of contract in June, which means they could go into official talks with Madrid about potential free transfers from January 1.
Recent reports have claimed Madrid president Perez has already landed a deal with Davies.
But the Canadian’s representative, Nedal Huoseh, has completely cold water on these proposals.
“Done with Real Madrid? This is not true. Although the player has many options, we have not agreed terms with any club. A new deal with FC Bayern could also be an option. Any report suggesting otherwise is wrong.”
Huoseh’s comments will give both Bayern and Manchester United a significant boost.
Bayern are still hoping to agree a contract extension with Davies, although they are aware that this will be difficult.
United, meanwhile, have landed on the 24-year-old as a prime option to solve their left-back problems. Davies could actually shine in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation, which would see him play as an attacking left winger.
It has been suggested that Davies wants a fantastic signing bonus of £10 million to join Manchester United, plus a weekly wage of £240,000.
United will now have to decide whether they want to fork out such a large sum and fight Madrid for the player, or go another way.
Sources have confirmed to TEAMtalk that Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez is another impressive left-back on United’s shortlist. Kerkez is also wanted by Liverpool.
