Manchester United will massively outbid Real Madrid in the race to sign Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies.

According to Fichajes, United will offer Davies a much higher wage than Real Madrid whether they move for the left back on a free transfer next summer or in January for a cut-price transfer fee.

Davies is demanding a massive €20 million per season salary, which United have no problem in matching or surpassing.

The Canadian is out of contract at the end of the season and seems almost certain to run down his deal.

Talks regarding a new deal hit a low point in the spring after Bayern issued an ultimatum that eventually passed without consequences and there was even a rapprochement when Vincent Kompany was named the club's new head coach.

Some positive discussions followed and Bayern decided to head into the new season with Davies on board despite the fact that the two parties are no closer to reaching an agreement.

The German giants still have no intention of meeting Davies' hefty €20m per season wage demands, but sporting director Christoph Freund recently insisted that "the door is definitely not closed" regarding a new round of talks and a potential compromise.

Nevertheless, it now seems unlikely that Davies will stay at Bayern as time is running out fast.

Real Madrid favourites for Davies

Real Madrid remain hot favourites to sign Davies having been long-term admirers of the player.

Madrid are planning to revolutionise their full back positions in 2025, and dream of having Davies at left back and Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold at right back.

The Liverpool star is also out of contract at the end of the season and increasingly likely to leave on a Bosman Transfer.
