Recent injuries that have plagued the royal team have pushed club officials to urgently seek reinforcements in the upcoming winter transfer window. One of the main areas Real Madrid aims to strengthen is the right-back position, which has become a concern following Dani Carvajal’s extended injury. According to Spanish outlet Relevo, Real Madrid’s management has identified Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot as a potential target to fill this role.
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold is also a prominent candidate to join Real Madrid in the summer, especially as his contract with the Reds is set to expire, allowing the club to sign him on a free transfer. Relevo reported that Alexander-Arnold is Real Madrid’s top choice, but the club has also inquired about Dalot’s price. Ancelotti views Dalot as a strong option due to his balanced defensive and offensive abilities, unlike Alexander-Arnold, who excels in attack but has notable defensive shortcomings.
However, negotiations for Dalot are expected to be challenging, as Manchester United is reportedly asking for €50 million to release him.
