Davies will have just one year left on his contract with Bayern after the 2023-24 season. He has refused to sign a new deal with Bundesliga giants, and it is believed that Real’s interest played a significant part in his decision. Spanish club’s representatives have been in contact with Davies in recent months and have met with the player several times, according to a recent report by The Athletic.

Real is open to engaging in talks with Bayern in order to facilitate a move for Davies this upcoming summer if the German club is ready to accept a transfer fee below the player’s market value. If the two sides are unable to reach an agreement, Real would wait one more year and sign Davies as a free agent.

This wouldn’t be the first time that Real Madrid plucked a player away from Bayern Munich. In 2014, Real managed to land star midfielder Toni Kross on cheap because he had just one year left on his deal. Then, in 2021, Los Blancos snatched world-class defender David Alaba for free after his contract with Bayern expired. 

Davies made 27 appearances in all competitions for Bayern this season and has recorded one goal and three assists. His projected market value, according to Transfer Markt, is €70 million.

According to Suarez, Real wanted to sign him after the 2013-14 season, in which he scored 31 goals and dished 17 assists for Liverpool.

“My representative spoke to Real Madrid before the 2014 World Cup,” Suarez said via ESPN. “Real Madrid wanted to sign me and everything was going in the right direction … they were thinking about selling (Karim) Benzema to Arsenal, everything was already in place.”

However, Real started being cautious about the pursuit of Suarez after the infamous biting incident involving Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini during the 2014 World Cup. At that point Barcelona entered the race as well and ended up convincing Suarez to make a switch to Camo Nou.

“In the end, I had both options, and I chose Barca because it was my dream,” Suarez added.

Suarez joined Barcelona after the 2014 World Cup and became one of the best strikers in the world. During his time with the club, he scored 195 goals and added 113 assists in all competitions. He also won 13 trophies, including four La Liga titles and one UEFA Champions League.

Alvarez has been in fine form this season, scoring 10 goals and adding nine assists in all competitions. This includes a brace in a 4-0 win over Fluminense that brought City its first Club World Cup trophy.

Despite this, there appears to be no clear path for Alvarez to be the first attacking option with City, considering the presence of Erling Haaland. Other clubs have taken notice of that and are ready to give him a more prominent role, with Real particularly interested in the 23-year-old Argentinean. The Spanish club lacks a formidable option in the striker position and believes Alvarez would be a great fit.

Addressing the transfer rumors in a recent interview, Alvarez said that he is happy at Man City and would like to stay with the club.

“The truth is that I am very happy at Manchester City,” Alvarez said. “I have been at the club for a little more than a year. I feel very happy with everything we have achieved.”

Julian Alvarez arrived to City in the summer of 2022 in a €21.4 million transfer from River Plate. Since then, Alvarez has made 75 appearances for the reigning Premier League champions and scored 24 goals to go with 17 assists.

The deal hasn’t been made official yet, as Bellingham needs to undergo his medical. However, Borussia confirmed the agreement in place via a statement issued on their official website.

“This is today´s mutual agreement in principle of the parties,” said Borrusia in a press release. “The contractual details now have to be coordinated and completed. Moreover, the realization of the transfer is still subject to the proper and timely processing.”

Bellingham is considered one of the best young soccer players in the world and has attracted interest from almost all major European clubs. It was previously believed that he would end up going back home to England, where Liverpool and Manchester City made a strong push to get him.

However, Liverpool ended up deciding that the price tag on Bellingham was too much for their liking, while the 19-year-old player didn’t favor a move to City. In the end, he ended up deciding to go to the arguably most-famous club in the world, where he is expected to be one of the key players in the future.

Bellingham is coming off a strong campaign in 2022-23, during which he helped Borussia challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title until the final match day. He played 42 games across all competitions, scoring 14 goals and adding seven assists.

According to Romano, Benzema already informed Real about the approach from Saudi Arabia and will take some time before making the final decision. It is believed that the Spanish club would allow the player to leave if he decides to do so. 

Romano didn’t share the details of the offer, but several other reports mentioned that Benzema would get $400 million for two seasons. This is in range with what his former Real teammate Cristiano Ronaldo got from Saudi Pro League side Al-Nasr in January.

Karim Benzema joined Real Madrid in 2009 and established himself as one of the club legends. He scored 353 goals across all competitions and is second on the club’s all-time leading goalscorers list behind Ronaldo. His 647 appearances are fifth all-time.

During his time with Real, Benzema helped the club win 25 trophies, including four La Liga titles and five UEFA Champions Leagues. He also won a number of individual accolades, including being named Ballon d’Or winner in 2022.

Manchester City is now set to face Seria A side Inter Milan in the UCL Finals on 10 June at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

While the first match between Man City and Real was tightly contested, the second leg game was entirely dominated by City. They were up 2-0 by halftime thanks to a brace by Bernardo Silva while having restricted the La Liga side to just one shot at the goal. The sense was that the English club could have scored more if it wasn’t for Madrid’s goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who made several miraculous saves.

The second half saw a more urgent Real team, but they failed to make their chances count. Man City, on the other hand, continued to be aggressive, and it resulted in two more goals. Defender Eder Militao turned Manuel Akanji’s header into his own net in the 76th minute, while attacker Julian Alvarez scored in added time to make it 4-0.

“It’s a beautiful night for us. We knew it was going to be tough. But to beat this Madrid team 4-0 at home, it was wonderful,” Silva said after the game. “A wonderful feeling to be in the final again, and hopefully this time we can try and win it.”

Manchester City are now headed to the second Champions League finals in three years. Their previous trip in 2021 ended on a bitter note as they lost 1-0 to Chelsea and failed to get the first UCL trophy in club history.

Man City was the more aggressive team in the first half and had several great chances but couldn’t get the ball past Thibaut Courtois. The La Liga powerhouse, on the other hand, was content to absorb the pressure and wait for its chances.

Despite City’s efforts, it was Real that managed to strike first in the 36th minute. Eduardo Camavinga made a great run from his half and passed the ball to Vinícius Júnior, who scored a beautiful goal from outside the box.

Real Madrid continued to threaten Ederson in the second half and was close to extending its lead when City struck back in the 67th minute. Ilkay Gundogan left the ball for De Bruyne near the penalty area, with the Belgian midfielder scoring a similarly stunning goal to the one from Vinícius Júnior.

Both teams had their chances to steal a win by the end of the match, but the result remained unchanged.

“I think both teams have the feeling that it was a good result,” said Real’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti after the game. “Maybe we played a bit better to deserve a victory, but it’s a series that will be even until the last minute.”

City’s manager Pep Guardiola had a similar opinion.

“It was an even match,” Guardiola said. “They scored when we were better, and we equalized when they were better. It will all be decided in Manchester.”

The second leg of the UCL semis between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be played on May 17 at City’s Etihad Stadium.

The game appeared to be a cagey affair during the first half, with Chelsea putting pressure on the visitors as they searched for a way back into the game after losing the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu 2-0. Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella came closest to scoring, with Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois stretching to save his close-range effort in order to keep the game goalless.

Once the second half got underway, Real Madrid emerged as the stronger team, with Rodrygo grabbing a vital away goal in the 58th minute to dash the home side’s hopes of launching an improbable comeback. The winger scored again in the 80th minute to seal Real Madrid’s place in the semifinals.

“I don’t know how to explain it. I always say it’s a very special competition for me, every time I play I can help the team,” Rodrygo said in his post-match interview. “I’m happy and I hope to carry on like that, scoring more goals, providing more assists, and winning the Champions League again.”

Real Madrid will face the winner in the matchup between Manchester City and Bayern Munich. City currently has the advantage, having defeated Bayern 3-0 in the first leg.

Karim Benzema proved to be Real Madrid’s standout player on the night, grabbing his second hat trick in a row following Los Blancos’ 6-0 victory over Valladolid on the weekend.

Vinicius Junior handed Madrid the lead in first-half stoppage time, while Benzema doubled their lead just five minutes after the break. Benzema grabbed his second goal from the penalty spot in the 58th minute, completing his hat trick in the 80th minute.

“The work [Benzema] did during the international break helped a lot,” Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti stated during the post-match interview. “He’s found his optimal condition again, and with the quality he has, the physical condition that supports that quality makes the difference.”

“The reality is that the Brazilian national team wants me; I love that, it’s exciting,” Ancelotti revealed in a press conference ahead of Madrid’s La Liga game against Real Valladolid. “From there, you have to respect the contract you have, which is a contract that I want to fulfill.”

Ancelotti, who is on a contract with Real Madrid until 2024, explained that it is his desire to remain with the team as long as the club allows. He went on to praise club president Florentino Perez, the players, and the fans, all of whom contribute to the club’s atmosphere.

Still, Ancelotti did admit that the prospect of speaking with Ednaldo Rodrigues, the president of the Brazilian Football Federation, would “delight” him.
