Real Madrid is looking to make strategic moves in the upcoming transfer window to strengthen their squad for the next season. According to recent reports, the club is considering a swap deal involving one of its first-team players to secure their summer transfer targets.
One of the key targets for Real Madrid is Palmeiras prodigy Endrick, who is expected to join the club after turning 18. Additionally, there are strong indications that Kylian Mbappe is on the verge of joining the Spanish giants after signaling his intention not to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
Another player on Real Madrid's radar is Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich. The Canadian left-back has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Madrid, although Bayern Munich is holding out for a significant transfer fee.
Bayern Munich initially indicated they would accept a reduced fee of $54 million for Davies, but recent reports suggest they are now demanding the full $76 million valuation for the player. Real Madrid is exploring various options to meet Bayern's asking price, including the possibility of offering a combination of cash and players in exchange.
One potential player that Real Madrid could include in the deal is Ferland Mendy, who was brought in as a long-term replacement for Marcelo in 2019. Mendy's future at the club could be in jeopardy if Real Madrid decides to pursue a deal for Davies.
Despite Mendy's injury struggles, Bayern Munich may still be interested in the French defender as they face the prospect of losing Davies on a free transfer in the near future. The negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, and Real Madrid is keen to secure their transfer targets ahead of the new season.
