La Liga
Real Madrid continues to adjust its plans for the upcoming season, and one of the top priorities on the club's agenda is strengthening the right-back position. With Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez both over 30 years old, the Madrid outfit is working to find a successor to ensure a suitable generational transition for that role.
Initially, the frontrunner for this position was Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Liverpool player whose contract runs until 2025 and had piqued Real Madrid's interest. However, the situation has become more complicated as the English defender is seriously considering extending his contract with Anfield, prompting Real Madrid to explore other options in the market.
A New Target: Real Madrid's Plan B
In light of this scenario, as reported by PlanetaRealMadrid, the club has now set its sights on another top-tier right-back: Diogo Dalot. The Portuguese player, currently at Manchester United, has established himself as a key player under Erik ten Hag's management. His ability to handle defensive duties while contributing to the attack has caught the attention of the white club, which has always valued this profile in its full-backs.
Dalot, with a contract in place until 2028, will not be an easy piece to negotiate. Manchester United views the Portuguese full-back as a fundamental figure in their squad and shows no intentions of facilitating his departure. Nevertheless, Real Madrid remains closely monitoring his situation, believing that he could fit perfectly into their style of play, bringing speed, offensive capability, and defensive solidity. Therefore, Real Madrid continues to seek alternatives to reinforce their right flank, aware that the renewal in that position is inevitable in the short term.
