Real Madrid will look to sign Diogo Dalot

The upcoming summer will see Real Madrid improving their defensive.

Reports in the Spanish media claim that Real Madrid will look to sign Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot.

The 23-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

Manchester United spent 22 million euros to sign the Portugal international from Porto in the summer of 2018. He has a valid contract with United until June 2024.

The right-back has featured in 25 matches this term, netting one goal and providing three assists in all competitions.

The 23-year-old is considered to be one of the best right-backs in Portugal. Dalot has also left his mark at the international stage after netting two goals in 10 senior appearances for the Portugal national team.

His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are delving into the transfer market for an experienced right-back and have done well to identify the 23-year-old as a potential target. The Portugal international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of defensive player Carlo Ancelotti wants to target in the summer transfer window.

La Liga giants will have funds to spend in the market and it will be interesting to see how they approach the summer transfer window.

Diogo Dalot is a skilled right-back who can make a difference at both ends of the pitch. His arrival would give Real Madrid some much needed tactical flexibility.

According to the report, “Real Madrid are interested in Manchester United fullback Diogo Dolot. The Portugal international has just seen his contract extended by 12 months thanks to an option triggered by United. AS says Real are interested in Dalot and weighing up making a summer bid for the fullback. Real Madrid needs to strengthen the right-side of its defence. Dani Carvajal just turned 32 and Lucas Vázquez turns 33 in June. There is the Vinicius Tobías option from Castilla, but he is expected to be joined by a more experienced alternative, with Dalot a player now being watched.”
