I dream of Playing for – Man United given Alphonso Davies transfer hope as agent responds to reports amid strong Real Madrid links
Real Madrid and Manchester United have long been in competition for Canada’s Alphonso Davies and Bayern Munich, but the Premier League team still has optimism.
Nedal Huoseh, the agent of Alphonso Davies, has refuted rumors that the Canadian international has a contract with Real Madrid.
The 24-year-old, who joined Bayern from the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018, has been linked to other teams besides Real Madrid. However, Davies has been hesitant to announce his future in public thus far.
The left-back can talk to possible suitors in January once his Bayern contract expires at the end of the current campaign.
He isn’t the only top talent linked with a move to the Bernabeu come the summer, though, with Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in a similar contract situation.
Manchester United have also been mentioned as a potential next club for Davies, who many feel could suit Ruben Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation.
While there’s been no definitive progress on that front, the latest claims from Huoseh will make for pleasant reading for United fans
“Although the player has many options, we have not reached an agreement with any club,” Huoseh said, as reported by Mundo Deportivo (via Football Espana). “Any information that suggests otherwise is incorrect.”
Reports in Spain had suggested Davies had rejected alternative options in favour of a Madrid switch, but Huoseh pushed back against those suggestions. “A new contract with Bayern could also be an option,” he added.
Davies had been due to play for Canada during November’s international break, but pulled out of the squad as a precautionary measure over fatigue worries. Jesse Marsch’s side still beat Suriname 1-0 in the first leg of their CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final, though, with the return game taking place on Tuesday evening local time
Back in October, Davies was asked about his future in an ESPN interview. “As of now, my full focus is to stay healthy and to play the game with the club I’m with right now,” he said.. “I’m not focused on what’s going on in the future.
“I’m just focusing on staying healthy and helping my team win. My team make me feel valued. The whole Bayern community make me feel valued. I see that each and every day.”
