Real Madrid has been cooling their interest in Alphonso Davies for several days now, and it seems likely they will soon close the door on the matter. The behavior of the Canadian international’s controversial agent, Nick Huoseh, has reportedly displeased Madrid’s management, prompting them to consider other options. Huoseh’s relationship with Bayern Munich’s leadership has also been strained, leading to Davies’ precarious status at the German club. Bayern had issued ultimatums and were even prepared to lose one of their best full-backs for free, refusing to cave to Huoseh’s demands. At one point, it appeared Davies was closer to Real, but the situation has shifted over the past month. It has emerged that Huoseh was trying to play both sides, leveraging offers to raise the stakes until he hit a wall. Both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have made their final offers, which are reportedly quite similar, although Bayern is willing to offer a larger signing bonus.Alphonso Davies ⚡ pic.twitter.com/QvfPoo72vx— Paadyx (@Paadyx9) January 10, 2025 In Madrid, they suspect Davies’ agent of saying one thing and doing another. Real has stated they won’t engage in a bidding war with Bayern or increase their offer, as reported by Cadena SER. Real Madrid’s proposal reportedly included a 100 million euros package for a five-year contract (20 million per season), including signing bonuses. Bayern, on the other hand, is offering a lower fixed salary but with bonuses that would bring the total earnings over five years to a comparable figure. Florentino Pérez is also reportedly displeased with Huoseh’s continued negotiations with Bayern after receiving Real’s official offer. As a result, the chances of seeing Davies in a white shirt have significantly diminished.Alphonso Davies’ downfall: drunk driving, underperforming…Cadena SER further notes that Real is seriously considering bringing back Miguel Gutiérrez from Girona. The 21-year-old, one of the standout graduates of Real Madrid’s academy in recent years, was sold to the Catalan club two and a half years ago for 4 million. However, Real included a buy-back clause in his contract. This clause becomes active in the summer of 2025 and is set at 9 million. With each subsequent transfer window, the price increases by 1 million. Real Madrid’s sporting department believes Gutiérrez deserves a chance, which would also save the club significant funds compared to signing Trent Alexander-Arnold.BUNDESLIGA MATCHDAY 16FridayDortmund – Leverkusen 2-3 (1-3)/Gittens 12, Guirassy 79 pen – Tella 1, Schick 8, 19/Saturday17:30: (1.42) Freiburg (4.60) Holstein Kiel (7.50)17:30: (3.20) Heidenheim (3.40) Union Berlin (2.40)17:30: (2.45) Hoffenheim (3.60) Wolfsburg (2.95)17:30: (1.55) Mainz (4.10) Bochum (6.25)17:30: (3.60) St.Pauli (3.45) Eintr.Frankfurt (2.05)20:30: (6.75) M’ gladbach (5.30) Bayern (1.45)Sunday 17:30: (1.80) RB Leipzig (3.60) Werder (4.60)19:30: (3.60) Augsburg (3.50) Stuttgart (2.05)***odds are subject to change***
