The defender could be an elite player, but the Spanish giants should not be spending big to add him to Carlo Ancelotti's squad
The world saw what Alphonso Davies did in August 2020. First, he turned Lionel Messi. Then, he pushed the ball around a sprawling Arturo Vidal. Next was Nelson Semedo, then Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet. The whole thing was finished, who obligingly poked home from six yards out. All said, Davies had taken out almost half of the Barcelona team to set up the killer fifth goal in Bayern Munich's 8-2 Champions League quarter-final romp.
That was nearly four years ago, and it has been widely assumed that, since then, Davies has remained at that level. After all, how could a footballer so good, so young, and so audacious doThings haven't been so simple. Davies has, indeed, enjoyed his moments, and his quality cannot be doubted. But consistency - at least at an elite level - has been elusive. In that light, it is strange that Real Madrid have reportedly been interested in Davies for so long.
