Real Madrid wants to pay more than £41 million to sign a 25-year-old Manchester United player. Reports

Real Madrid’s reported interest in Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot suggests they are actively exploring options to bolster their defensive line as they plan for the future. With the legendary Daniel Carvajal and versatile Lucas Vázquez both aging, Dalot could represent a younger and more dynamic alternative. His ability to play on both sides of the defense would provide Carlo Ancelotti with tactical flexibility, making him a valuable asset.

Real Madrid has already been linked with top-tier options like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Pedro Porro, but Dalot’s reported price tag of £41 million could make him a more cost-effective option compared to these high-profile targets.

Dalot, who joined Manchester United from Porto in 2018 for £19 million, has grown into a key figure for the Red Devils. His experience, coupled with his attacking contributions (6 goals and 12 assists in 177 appearances), highlights his potential value to Los Blancos. Should he move to the Santiago Bernabéu, he could become a regular starter and a vital part of Madrid’s transitional defense.

On a separate note, Amad Diallo’s brilliant performance in Manchester United’s recent 4-0 victory over Everton has earned him praise, with Alan Shearer calling him “player of the match” for his dynamic showing in a right wing-back role. Diallo’s growth under manager Ruben Amorim could also be crucial for United, showcasing the depth and versatility in their squad as they aim to maintain form across competitions.
