The $75 million player Barcelona could steal from Real Madrid

Real Madrid and Barcelona have very different realities lately. Los Blaugranas are facing serious financial problems that have forced them to get rid of stars like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, while also preventing them from buying top players and having to target free agents or loan deals. And it all shows on the field, as they have been unable to compete with other European giants for years.

Los Merengues are much better off. Money is not a problem for them and every year they spend a fortune to sign stars that help raise the level of the team. The most recent of these was Jude Bellingham, who arrived last summer from Borussia Dortmund for over $100 million and quickly became a key player for coach Carlo Ancelotti. And all indications are that Kylian Mbappé, one of the best strikers in the world, will also join next season.

However, there is one problem that Real Madrid have not been able to solve in recent years: left-back. Since the departure of Marcelo, they have not found a player who is up to the demands, as Ferland Mendy and Francisco Garcia have not shown the performances expected of them. That is why they are interested in Alphonso Davies. The Canadian player is under contract with Bayern Munich until June 30, 2025 and so far has not accepted renewal offers.

With this scenario, president Florentino Perez is excited to have him in his squad, but apparently Barcelona will also make an attempt for him. According to Jijantes, Davies' agent flew to Madrid to have a meeting with Real Madrid's chiefs, but the next day he traveled to Catalunya and spoke with Deco, Barcelona's sporting director.

How much is he worth?

Despite this information, it seems difficult for Barcelona to compete for Alphonso Davies. First of all because in that same position they have Alejandro Balde, one of the most promising young players in the world. And also because of the high value of the Canadian player: according to the specialized website Transfermarkt, Alphonso is worth $75 million.
