real Madrid They are still looking for young players for next season and the Premier League is one of the most attractive places today. With the desire to have more replacements, Carlo Ancelotti’s team points to a 23-year-old full-back: Diogo Dalot. The Portuguese has been completing a great campaign in Manchester Utdbeing part of the headlines of Erik Ten Hag’s set, that this Thursday is measured to the FC Barcelona.
Ancelotti is looking to refresh the right-back position, taking into account that Dani Carvajal is 32 years old and Lucas Vásquez is already turning 33 in June. Dalot is young and has impressed at Old Trafford. The Portuguese received positive comments even from a former teammate like Cristiano Ronaldo: “He is one of the most professional young people I have ever met”came to declare when ‘CR7′ was still in England.
Manchester United has been contemplating the possibility of expanding its relationship (it ends in 2024) and does not want to reach the end of the season without resolving this pending issue. The ‘Red Devils’ are aware of the interest it can generate in big teams from the ‘Old Continent’.
For Madrid, this is also a double-edged sword: they could use the option of signing him in a few months with a market price of less than the €32M with which he is valued or he could decide to do it completely free next year, just like did with Alaba or Rüdiger.
They went for Joao Cancelo
Rumors indicated, in the first instance, that Madrid was interested in signing Joao Cancelo, but the player decided to go on loan to Bayern Munich with a purchase option of 70 million. The Portuguese has not had the best relationship with his technical directors, which is why he was relegated from the starting position in the last Qatar 2022 World Cup, precisely because of Dalot.
His character seems to be the main problem and the desire to always want to add minutes leads him to situations that are not very tolerable for the group environment. However, he has shown himself comfortable with the ‘Bavarians’ and this could indicate that they will execute the purchase option.
