Diogo Dalot
Spanish Giants Weigh Move Amid Alexander-Arnold Uncertainty
Real Madrid is reportedly weighing a £50 million bid for Manchester United’s right-back Diogo Dalot, according to The i Paper. The potential move comes amid doubts over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future availability and a pressing need to fill the void left by Dani Carvajal’s injury.
Carvajal, Real Madrid’s first-choice right-back, is sidelined with a serious knee injury that could keep him out for the majority of the season. In his absence, Madrid has experimented with various players in the position, with mixed results, prompting the club to accelerate their search for a reliable option.
Dalot in the Spotlight
Diogo Dalot, 24, has been a key figure in Manchester United’s squad, and sources within the club stress that the Portuguese defender remains an integral part of manager Ruben Amorim’s plans. Additionally, Dalot is reportedly not seeking a move away from Old Trafford.
Despite this, Real Madrid’s interest is serious. According to The i Paper, the Spanish giants are considering making an offer for Dalot now rather than waiting for a potential move for Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold next summer.
Alexander-Arnold’s Future Uncertain
Madrid has long been admirers of Alexander-Arnold, 26, but his situation at Liverpool remains unclear. The England international has yet to agree on a contract extension, and with his current deal set to expire next summer, Madrid has been monitoring the situation closely.
However, with Carvajal’s injury putting immediate pressure on their defensive lineup, the club may opt to secure Dalot to address their short-term needs while keeping Alexander-Arnold as a long-term target.
As the January transfer window approaches, Real Madrid’s strategy for bolstering their right-back position will be closely watched, with Dalot emerging as a key figure in their plans.
