Barcelona are looking to improve at the full-back position next summer, with only Alejandro Balde and the re-converted Jules Kounde available this season as options with plenty of experience in those areas. However, they need to look at their second choice for the left-back spot.
Despite a close relationship with Barcelona coach Hansi Flick say that Bayern Munich still prefers Real Madrid over the Catalan giants. Los Blancos have been negotiating with Davies for some time and while Bayern Munich are also doing their best to keep him, Barcelona are expecting to lose Davies. The 24-year-old was wanted by Flick and the German coach had hoped to sign him.
If there are no setbacks, Pablo Gavi could be in the starting lineup this year.

This is encouraging news for Real Madrid, who are expected to make their signing next summer. The Canadian can sign a preliminary contract in just six weeks as a free agent. Davies has long been a target of Real Madrid, who began expressing their interest two years ago.
