UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid has set its priority for strengthening the right-back position in 2025: Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, aware of the difficulties in securing the English player's signing, the club has included Diogo Dalot as plan B. The 25-year-old Portuguese full-back, currently at Manchester United, could be a versatile solution thanks to his ability to play on both sides and his speed in attack, qualities that Carlo Ancelotti values positively.
The need to reinforce the defense has become urgent for the "merengue" squad due to Dani Carvajal's prolonged absence, who is facing a serious knee injury. Additionally, Lucas Vázquez is nearing the end of his career, leaving the team without a clear replacement in that key position. Faced with this situation, the club executives are working on a possible agreement with Alexander-Arnold, but do not rule out the addition of Dalot if negotiations with the Liverpool player do not succeed.
Diogo Dalot, on Real Madrid's radar
Dalot, despite a challenging start to the season at Manchester United, remains a full-back with potential. His international experience and offensive capability make him a viable option for the "blancos," although not at the same level as Alexander-Arnold.
Real Madrid must act precisely in the coming weeks to secure one of these strategic signings. Although the English international remains the top choice, uncertainty surrounding his decision keeps Dalot as an alternative that could ensure stability at right-back in the medium term.
This move reflects the meticulous planning of the club, aiming not only to address immediate needs but also to secure a solid foundation for the future.
