Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a £30m move for Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot as they search for a long-term successor to Dani Carvajal. With United pushing for a top-four finish under Michael Carrick, could the Portuguese star leave Old Trafford this summer?
Manchester United is in the middle of the season, where the Red Devils are fighting in order to secure the qualification for the next edition of the most important competition for the European clubs, the UEFA Champions League.
The club had a difficult start to the season under the Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim, where the results and performances of the team were not at the level that the fans were expecting. For this reason, the directors of the Red Devils fired Amorim and decided to hire a former legend of the club, Michael Carrick, as an interim manager until the end of the season.
Under Carrick, the performances and the results of the team have changed a lot, and the players are also enjoying performing under Michael Carrick. Since the arrival of Michael, Manchester United has lost only 1 match. Currently, the Red Devils are third with 54 points.
The players are fighting on the pitch, and from the other side, the club is preparing the plans for the upcoming summer transfer market. The Red Devils invested a lot last summer, and the plan is to invest a lot also this summer.
The Red Devils are ready to invest in buying new players, but on the other hand, the club should be ready to face the risk of losing different important players of the team. Despite the difficulties of the team in recent years, United has some very good players who have performed well during these times.
One key player who has performed well for the Red Devils is the Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot. The right back has been an important player with his performances for the team, and is a player who can play in different positions, so he can adapt.
The 26-year-old right back has been part of the Red Devils since 2018, and his contract expires in 2028. Dalot has played a total of 240 matches for Manchester United with 10 goals scored and 20 assists given. Regarding this season, Diogo has played a total of 30 matches with 1 goal scored and 3 assists given.
According to Teamtalk.com, Real Madrid is a club that is very interested in the services of the Portuguese right-back Diogo Dalot. The Spanish team sees Dalot as a perfect replacement for their captain Dani Carvajal.
This season, Real Madrid has two options for the position of right-back: Carvajal and Alexander-Arnold. The contract of Carvajal expires this summer, and it seems that Los Blancos are looking at the Portuguese player of Manchester United as a perfect investment for the present and future of the club.
According to Teamtalk.com, Los Blancos are ready to make an offer of around 30 million pounds for the Portuguese right-back, and it need to wait and see if the Red Devils will be willing to enter into negotiations with Real Madrid or will offer Dalot a renewal.
