Bayern agree terms with defender – Real Madrid to have clear run at target

Bayern Munich may well have found their replacement for Alphonso Davies, clearing the way for the Canadian to join Real Madrid this summer.

According to a report from MD, Milan left-back Theo Hernandez has agreed to join Bayern this summer, if they can reach a deal with the Rossoneri for his signature. He has been targeted by Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, Manchester United and Chelsea, but Bayern are the side that have convinced him most.

A negotiation between Bayern and Milan is no given for the 26-year-old, who arrived for little under €23m in 2019, and has grown plenty in the last five years. However if Bayern were to get a deal over the line for Hernandez, it would all but confirm the exit of Davies, who has been heavily linked with Real Madrid.

With a year remaining on his deal, and little sign of a new one, Davies looks set to be sold this summer. Despite talk of a contract renewal for Ferland Mendy, who Carlo Ancelotti is a fan of and also has just a year left on his deal, Real Madrid will try to bring Davies in this summer or next, depending on the price. Bayern will not look to give the 23-year-old Canadian away, but a sale would make sense for all parties at this point.
