REAL MADRID are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies.
The 21-year-old Canadian international broke through in 2019 and has gone on to earn 127 appearances at the club.
He has already won four Bundesliga titles with the German champions and penned a two-year extension in 2020 to keep him at the club until 2025.
But according to Marca, Real have identified him as one of their major transfer targets.
In response to a fan linking fellow Bayern man Joshua Kimmich to Los Blancos, journalist Jose Felix Diaz responded by insisting Davies is a more likely acquisition.
Speaking on Twitch, he said: “From Bayern, the name they have most in mind is Davies.”

Jude Bellingham is still thought to be Real’s main target over the coming 12 months.
And they are also focused on tying existing stars Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos down to new deals.
But aside from those goings on, Davies is high up on their agenda of potential deals.
That is despite a turbulent couple of years for the youngster – who can play as a left winger in addition to his usual left-back role.

Davies, who has been capped 32 times by Canada, suffered an ankle injury in 2020 which kept him out for nearly two months.
He then contracted Covid at the beginning of this year, with Bayern subsequently discovering he had developed a heart issue – mild myocarditis.
Then during the Bundesliga side’s 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund last weekend, he sustained a cranial injury which saw him substituted at half-time.
He subsequently missed their win over Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League on Wednesday.
