In recent months, Jude Bellingham has reportedly taken on the role of an unofficial “cheerleader” for Real Madrid in their pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Spanish outlet MARCA reported earlier this week that Alexander-Arnold told Real Madrid that he wants to sign for the La Liga giant in the summer, with the 26-year-old reportedly speaking to his international teammate about what life is like in Spain.

It turns out that the 21-year-old is also friendly with another major target for Los Blancos in Canada international Alphonso Davies. Davies could leave Bayern Munich as a free agent in the summer with his current deal set to expire.

Madrid has been interested in signing Davies for some time while he is also linked with a move to Liverpool and Manchester United. Recent reports suggest they may miss out, with the Canadian full-back thought to be nearing an agreement on a new contract with the Bundesliga side. Despite this, Bellingham was spotted enjoying a night out with Davies earlier this week, fueling speculation about a potential move.

Davies would be a valuable addition to Real Madrid, particularly given their ongoing struggles at left-back this season. The 24-year-old has already won five Bundesliga titles and a Champions League trophy among other accolades and is certainly an intriguing prospect.

Recent events have only fueled speculation about a left-back transfer at Anfield. With Kostas Tsimikas injured and Andy Robertson receiving criticism surrounding his performances in recent weeks.

Despite being one of the best ever in his position for the Reds, recent errors have sparked discussions about the need for change. However, as he made clear in an interview in October, Davies has a definitive response to such speculation. "As of now, my full focus is to stay healthy and to play the game with the club I'm with right now," Davies remarked. "I'm not focused on what's going on in the future."

"I'm just focusing on staying healthy and helping my team win. My team make me feel valued. The whole Bayern community make me feel valued. I see that each and every day."
