Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot has been linked with a move to Manchester United.
Real Madrid are showing a keen interest in signing Diogo Dalot, the 25-year-old right-back currently playing for Manchester United.
This revelation comes from a recent statement by Sergio Fernandez, who confirmed that the Spanish giants are considering Dalot as a potential addition to their defence.
The LALIGA club has been proactive in their efforts to strengthen their full-back positions. While Real are seemingly prioritising Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold there is increasing uncertainty over the left-back position, particularly following Alphonso Davies’ recent change of plans.
In light of these developments, Real are now turning their attention to Dalot, who has impressed the club’s hierarchy.
However, securing the Portuguese international will not be straightforward. Manchester United are reportedly demanding a transfer fee of around €50 million (R908 million), which could make the deal a costly one for Los Blancos.

It is worth noting that Real had already made initial contact with Dalot’s representatives before Erik ten Hag’s departure from United.
Dalot has been a key player for United since joining from Porto as a 19-year-old for €22 million (R399 million), and his role within the squad has only grown in importance. His situation at Old Trafford has gained added attention with the arrival of fellow Portuguese compatriot Ruben Amorim.
A potential move away from United could prove difficult due to Dalot’s hefty price tag. The Red Devils are unlikely to accept any offers significantly lower than the €50 million asking price, complicating matters for potential suitors.
While Real’s first choice remains the signing of Alexander-Arnold—who would join with the support of his close friend Jude Bellingham — the potential move for the Englishman is expected to focus more on signing bonuses and a competitive salary, with a likely lower transfer fee.
Despite this, Los Blancos remain intent on closely monitoring Dalot’s situation. While securing the right-back would be challenging, the player could provide a long-term solution for the position with an immediate impact on the team.
