La Liga
Real Madrid is already working intensively on rebuilding the squad for the upcoming season, and one of the main objectives set by José Mourinho has a name and surname: Diogo Dalot. The right-back from Manchester United has become an explicit request from the Portuguese coach to strengthen the right flank of the white team.
The operation, which just a few weeks ago seemed unlikely, has gained a lot of strength after Mourinho's return to the Santiago Bernabéu was confirmed. The Portuguese coach considers it a priority to reinforce several positions and believes that Dalot perfectly meets the necessary conditions to become an important piece of Real Madrid's new project.
Mourinho wants a reliable full-back
José Mourinho's arrival will bring significant changes within the white squad. The Portuguese coach has already begun working with the sports management to determine the team's needs, and one of the absolute priorities is the right-back position.
There is concern within the club about the future of that position, and Mourinho wants a proven, competitive player with experience at the highest level. That is precisely why he has insisted so much on Diogo Dalot's name.
The coach knows the Portuguese defender perfectly and especially values his tactical discipline, physical ability, and experience in high-pressure situations.
In addition, Dalot fits very well into the type of football historically developed by Mourinho's teams: intense full-backs, aggressive defensively, and capable of providing offensive depth without losing tactical balance.
Within the coaching staff, they believe the Portuguese international can immediately perform and become a reliable piece to compete from day one.
Manchester United is open to offers
At 27 years old, Diogo Dalot is going through one of the most mature moments of his career. The full-back has established himself as a regular starter at Old Trafford and remains one of the most consistent players in the English team.
However, Manchester United's delicate sporting situation and the need to make significant changes in the squad could open the door to a sale during the summer.
In England, there is talk of a possible operation close to 35 million euros, a significant but affordable amount for a club like Real Madrid considering the player's experience and competitive level.
In addition, within the player's circle, the possibility of landing at the Santiago Bernabéu would not be unwelcome. The opportunity to work under Mourinho's orders and wear the Real Madrid shirt is tremendously attractive to the Portuguese player.
There is no intention at Old Trafford to give away the full-back, but they also do not consider a player who could bring in an interesting economic sum as non-transferable.
Negotiations are already underway
According to various information from both Spain and England, Real Madrid has already initiated contacts with Manchester United to seriously explore the feasibility of the operation.
The intention of the white club is to accelerate discussions in the coming weeks to try to close one of the priority signings requested by Mourinho as soon as possible.
At Chamartín, they believe that Dalot can immediately bring stability to a position that urgently needs reinforcement following the doubts shown during the season.
Furthermore, the fact that the player arrives directly recommended by Mourinho further increases the club's confidence in his potential performance.
The relationship between coach and player clearly plays in favor of the operation. Mourinho has always admired Dalot's commitment and professionalism and believes that his competitive mindset will fit perfectly into the new Real Madrid he aims to build.
For now, discussions continue to progress discreetly, although optimism is starting to grow within the Madridista environment.
This summer promises to be very eventful at Chamartín, and Diogo Dalot's name is already marked as one of the absolute priorities of the new white project.
José Mourinho wants to start his second stint at Real Madrid with utmost trust in his players. The Portuguese full-back seems ready to become one of the first major reinforcements of the new Madridista era.
