Premier League
Real Madrid, always attentive to strengthen their squad, has set their eyes on the right-back of Manchester United, Diogo Dalot, as an alternative to their main target, Trent Alexander-Arnold. The current La Liga champions seek to cover the position due to the aging of Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez, who are nearing the end of their careers. Although Alexander-Arnold is the priority,
Dalot has emerged as an attractive option, not only for his youth but also for his experience and performance at Manchester United, where he has become a key player.
The Portuguese player, who arrived at Old Trafford in 2018 from Porto, has undergone a maturation process in England and has thrived under Erik ten Hag's guidance. His loan spell at AC Milan helped him gain confidence and playing time, allowing him to return to United and secure a place in the defense. At 25 years old, Dalot has proven to be a versatile full-back, capable of contributing both defensively and offensively, qualities that have not gone unnoticed by top European clubs.
Diogo Dalot, on Real Madrid's radar under Ancelotti
Real Madrid's interest in Dalot is justified not only by his potential but also by his market value. With a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, his signing would be feasible without disrupting the wage structure of the white team. However, the operation will not be straightforward, as Manchester United may not be willing to easily part with one of their most reliable defenders.
The upcoming summer looks crucial for Dalot's future. While Real Madrid continues to explore their options to strengthen the right-back position, the outcome of this potential deal will heavily depend on the evolution of Alexander-Arnold's contractual situation at Liverpool and United's willingness to negotiate for their talented Portuguese defender.
