Real Madrid is said to be considering recruiting Diogo Dalot as a backup plan for Alexander-Arnold.
Real Madrid is ready to spend 41 million pounds Diogo Dalot
Real Madrid is still in contact with Alexander-Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool will expire next summer. The England defender will be talking to foreign clubs from January.
But according to Relevo newspaper, Real Madrid also considered the possibility of failure in losing to Alexander-Arnold. Currently, Liverpool is flying high under Arne Slot and Alexander-Arnold is again the hero of Liverpool city and can be optimally kept on the ball. Liverpool’s form this season may make Alexander-Arnold rethink his future.
That’s why Real Madrid has come up with a new solution, Diogo Dalot. The Portuguese player is playing well at Man United and Real Madrid is ready for 41 million pounds in this service. It is known that Real even approached Man United to ask about Dalot’s case since Erik ten Hag was in charge.
Currently, Real Madrid has lost their number one right-back, Dani Carvajal, due to an ACL injury. The Spanish star had to stop playing for the rest of this season, creating confusion for Real’s defense.
Diogo Dalot joined Man United from Porto in 2018. Since then, the Portuguese player has appeared 178 times, contributing 6 goals and 12 assists. Dalot just had his best season for Man United, making his 35th appearance in the Premier League and was voted by his teammates as the best player of the year.
New coach Ruben Amorim also highly appreciated Dalot. He affirmed that the Portuguese player is very strong, but needs to be rotated regularly to ensure his condition.
