Alphonso Davies has agreed to join Real Madrid from Bayern Munich either this year or next, according to reports.
The Canada international has a deal to 2025 with the Bundesliga champions but it remains unclear whether he will see it out.
The Athletic reports that a verbal agreement has been struck between Davies and Real after a series of meetings between player and club.

However, it is yet to be decided if Davies will make the switch this summer or ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Real are prepared to offer a below-market bid to get the 23-year-old in this summer, but alternatively he could join them a year later as a free agent.
Talks between the clubs are yet to start and Bayern haven’t yet given up on the idea of Davies penning a contract extension.
They don’t want to lose him for nothing, though, so a summer sale could be on the cards if their pleas fall on deaf ears.
