Real Madrid have long been monitoring Bayern Munich speedster Alphonso Davies and with his contract running out at the end of the season, the stars seemed to be aligned for him to arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu next summer.
However, recent reports have suggested that the deal might not go through as Real Madrid are having some reservations due to the 24-year-old not committing to them yet and listening to other proposals.
In the meantime, Bayern Munich have not given up on their efforts to convince Davies to stay, with it being claimed that the chances of a renewal have improved significantly.
No decision until new year
However, Fabrizio Romano has brought forward the latest scoop on the situation surrounding Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid.
While there has been talk of the Canadian left-back now being close to renewing with Bayern Munich, Romano refutes those claims.

The Italian journalist reports that Davies is yet to make a final decision on his future and will likely wait until the new year to do so.
The situation is unlikely to take many months to resolve, but as things stand, no decision has been made by the left-back.
Bayern Munich remain in talks with his agent to convince him to continue at the Allianz Arena while Real Madrid are also very much in the picture.
It must be remembered that there has been interest from some other clubs like Barcelona and Manchester United as well.
So, Davies will likely assess all his options in the next few weeks and come to a decision on his next move after Christmas and early in 2025.
If Real Madrid fail to land their man, they have a slew of alternatives lined up, leading with Girona star Miguel Gutierrez while another former academy ace, Alvaro Carreras of SL Benfica, is also being linked.
