CaughtOffside website revealed that Spanish club Real Madrid has shown interest in signing Portuguese full-back Diogo Dalot from Manchester United, seeing him as a long-term option to strengthen its defense, especially with veteran Dani Carvajal nearing the end of his career.

The site pointed out that 26-year-old Dalot has delivered impressive performances with Manchester United under the leadership of Rúben Amorim, standing out for his defensive and offensive abilities. His versatility in playing as both right and left full-back has made him a key figure for the Red Devils.

The same source reported that the player's performance has attracted the attention of Europe's top clubs, including Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, and Bayern Munich. Real Madrid's scouting department has been following him since his rise with the Portuguese national team, viewing him as a ready replacement for Carvajal and a reliable option to rotate with Alexander-Arnold in a system that demands physical strength and technical precision from full-backs.

At Manchester United, it is said that sporting director Jason Wilcox is open to reviewing financial offers, although Dalot's contract runs until 2028 with an option for an additional year. Meanwhile, the club is focusing on renewing the squad and achieving financial balance according to the new recruitment model.

The report also clarified that Atlético Madrid is interested in the player as a fit for coach Diego Simeone's system, while Bayern Munich is also looking to reinforce its defensive line. However, Real Madrid's appeal and the opportunity to work under Alonso and compete for titles could give the Spanish club the edge if Dalot becomes available for sale.
