Bayern Munich To Make Last-Gasp Renewal Attempt For Madrid target Alphonso Davies—-Real Madrid have reached a verbal agreement with Alphonso Davies on personal terms, but Bayern Munich have not yet thrown in the towel. While it appears likely the Bavarian giants will be negotiating his exit this summer, they will continue in their efforts to renew the Canadian defender.

Davies, 23, is out of contract in 2025, meaning Bayern must either renew his deal, sell him for a fee this summer, or lose him for free next year. Real Madrid had identified Davies as a potential target as early as last summer, and look poised to get their man.

Speaking to The Daily Briefing, Matteo Moretto has explained that Bayern will avoid losing Davies for free first and foremost, and will be willing to negotiate an exit if that is the only other alternative. Despite a meeting between Bayern and Davies’ agent last week, the German Rekordmeister have not been locked in talks with Davies in recent weeks, but rather focusing on their season, and will still look to get a deal done with him once the end of their season looks a little clearer.

Meanwhile Real Madrid are keen to emulate their work with Toni Kroos, securing Davies at a bargain price. Over a decade after signing Kroos, the €25m fee for him continues to look more and more insignificant measured next to his contribution.

It looks like Davies will have the choice in his hands ultimately this summer. He will likely earn more money at Bayern than Real Madrid, but given the squad Los Blancos are building, and the potential attraction of playing with Kylian Mbappe may well be more than enough to seduce him. The fact his form at Bayern has dropped off, as have the Bayern side, may well nudge him towards the exit too.

Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL

 Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL—-Ousmane Dembélé starred with a brace as Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, sealing a dominant 4-0 aggregate win to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The French forward proved decisive on the night, scoring twice to end Liverpool’s European campaign and send the defending champions into the last four for a third consecutive season.

Liverpool’s night was further marred by a serious injury to Hugo Ekitiké, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a severe leg issue, raising concerns over his availability for the remainder of the season.

Manager Arne Slot made bold selection calls, leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench initially, though the forward was introduced early following Ekitiké’s injury and nearly made an instant impact.

Despite flashes of pressure from Liverpool, PSG remained composed and dangerous on the counter. Dembélé broke the deadlock in the second half with a fine curling effort before adding a second in stoppage time from a Bradley Barcola assist.

Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were also dashed when a penalty awarded for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was overturned following a VAR review.

The defeat confirms a disappointing end to Liverpool’s European campaign, while PSG continue their title defence and will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Atlético Madrid Edge Barcelona 3-2 on Aggregate to Reach UCL Semi-Finals

Ademola Lookman On Target as Atlético Madrid Edge Barcelona 3-2 on Aggregate to Reach UCL Semi-Finals—-Atlético Madrid booked their place in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals after edging Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate, despite a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their quarter-final clash.

Barcelona made a blistering start at the Metropolitano, with Lamine Yamal opening the scoring early before Ferran Torres doubled their lead inside 24 minutes to level the tie on aggregate.

However, Atlético responded through Ademola Lookman, whose crucial strike restored his side’s aggregate advantage following their 2-0 first-leg win.

Diego Simeone’s men then held firm under intense pressure, with Barcelona’s hopes taking a major hit when Eric García was sent off for bringing down Alexander Sørloth as he raced through on goal.

Despite late attacking changes from coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona were unable to find the third goal needed to force extra time, as Atlético battled through a tense finish.

The result sees Atlético Madrid reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2017, keeping alive their dream of winning the competition for the first time in their history.

They will now face either Arsenal or Sporting CP in the semi-finals.
