Real Madrid have been linked with Alphonso Davies for some time and are still monitoring the Canadian international, according to Sport Bild.

In order to persuade the Bavarians to sell, the Spanish giants are open to including centre-back Rafa Marin in the deal, the German publication claims.

Marin is currently on loan at Alaves, where he has established himself as a regular starter.

Bayern have been looking for a new centre-back for some time, but it is unclear whether they would be interested in 21-year-old Marin.

Davies' contract with the Bavarians runs until 2025 and talks over a new deal are expected to continue in the coming months. Bayern are reportedly keen to keep him, but not at any cost.
