Alphonso Davies is Real Madrid's priority target for the left-back position, according to Marca.
Los Blancos are looking at the Canadian and are monitoring his situation at Munich. It is thought that next summer the Spanish club will look to bring the youngster into the fold.
Davies has been linked to the club for a number of years now and he is yet to sign an extension with Bayern, with his current deal up in 2025. The club are also looking at Ian Maatsen of Chelsea, though he is a starter for his current side.

Real Madrid signed Fran Garcia for the left-back position this summer after he rose through the ranks and joined Rayo Vallecano, where he flourished.
The club have been using the player as a regular but it’s not clear if he will be in the starting XI when Ferland Mendy is back available. It comes after it emerged why Real Madrid did not sign a striker this summer.

Real Madrid's lack of No.9 in the target
The club have been using Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham in Carlo Ancelotti’s system at Real Madrid this season, with the pair being the focal point of the club’s attack. But Rodrygo was the reason that they did not go all out on a forward.
A report from Jorge C Picon, claims that the Brazilian was one of the main reasons Real Madrid did not go all out to sign a No.9 this summer.
Rodrygo has been used on the right flank during his spell at Real Madrid but came in and performed well as the striker last season when Karim Benzema was unavailable.
This season he has been playing more through the middle, but could be moved onto the left-side with Vinicius Jr out.
The winger suffered a thigh injury in the game against Celta Vigo and left the field in the first-half.
