Alphonso Davies has emerged as one of the top youngsters in the world following his exploits at Bayern Munich. The player is a key figure for the team and has attracted a lot of attention from other European sides. However, while the Bavarian side would be uninterested in selling their star player, Spanish side Real Madrid is said to be keenly interested in the $73 million defender’s services for next summer.

The side has been looking to strengthen their defense and has identified Davies as one of their top targets. However, according to his agent Nedal Huoseh, the Canadian could snub Los Blancos and move to the SPL instead to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. “I love Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr team, but the rest of the teams are good as well. Alfonso will play with Ronaldo? You don’t know, anything can happen. I think Cristiano will play more than Messi. He is the best.”

While Davies’ agent Nedal Huoseh did not shy away from calling Cristiano Ronaldo the best, the Canadian defender has surprisingly always idolized Lionel Messi. In a recent clip, the fullback touched down on his love for the Argentine.
