For many months now, Real Madrid has suffered a real slaughter on the defensive level with long-term injuries. David Alaba, Eder Militao twice and Dani Carvajal are long-term absentees who weigh heavily. Throughout these problems, the Madrid club has always sent the message that it would not rush into the Mercato to strengthen itself, but the reality would be different.
Difficult to dislodge at Manchester United?
According to information from Relevo, Real Madrid is indeed interested in Diogo Dalot, the Portuguese right back of Manchester United, to strengthen its defense, although it is aware of the difficulty of the operation due to its high price , set at 50 million euros. The Madrid club are closely following Dalot, but his cost could pose an obstacle. The 25-year-old, who made more than 175 appearances for the Red Devils, was voted the club's best player for the 2023-2024 season. His importance has further increased under the guidance of his coach, Rúben Amorim, who considers him a key part of the team. Amorim describes Dalot as a very efficient and versatile player, capable of playing on both ends of the pitch.
Dalot, who arrived in Manchester in 2018 for 22 million euros, is now an indisputable starter, and his club does not seem ready to accept an offer below 50 million euros. While the Dalot option is a possibility for the future, Real Madrid still favor the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool FC, although an immediate deal would be difficult. Alexander-Arnold, who could join Madrid next summer, benefits from the support of his friend Jude Bellingham.
