The key is annual salary
German media "Bild" reported on the 14th (Korea Standard Time) that "Bayern Munich was willing to negotiate a renewal to prevent Alfonso from moving to Real Madrid."
Alfonso is considered the best left-back in the Bundesliga. He played in 38 games in all competitions last season, establishing himself as an indispensable part of Munich's defense.
As he was a former striker, his aerodynamic power is especially outstanding. Alfonso also raised his stock price by scoring three goals and eight assists with explosive speed and accurate cross last season.
Compared to his steady performance, his future in Munich is uncertain. Alfonso has yet to agree to renew his contract with Munich, even though his contract is set to expire in 2025.
Complaints against the club are bound to accumulate. In an interview in June, Alfonso's agent, Nedal Huse, confessed, "Munich has not offered any position on renewing the contract after the leadership change."
Real has dug into this gap. Real's president Florentino Perez is known to want Alfonso as a new left-back.
It's not Munich to watch. According to the report, Munich has not given up renewing his contract with Alfonso despite rumors of a transfer to Real.
The key to renewing the contract is financial compensation. "If Munich offers a sufficiently increased salary, Alfonso is likely to remain," the media said. "Otherwise, he may head to Real," he analyzed.
