Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are poised for a heated transfer battle as both clubs target Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot.
The Portuguese right-back, valued at over £40m, has caught the attention of both La Liga powerhouses, setting the stage for a high-stakes negotiation.
Madrid’s Alternative to Alexander-Arnold
Real Madrid have identified Dalot as a potential alternative to Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold. With the Englishman proving difficult to lure from Anfield, Los Blancos are looking to secure the versatile United defender, who has consistently impressed with his defensive prowess and attacking contributions.
Barcelona’s Deco Connection
Rival interest from Barcelona adds further intrigue to Dalot’s future. The Catalan club hopes that sporting director Deco, a fellow Portuguese national, can leverage his connections to convince Dalot to make the move to Camp Nou. The Blaugrana are reportedly optimistic about swaying the United full-back in their favor.
A Battle of Heavyweights
The Dalot saga is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched transfer stories of the season. Real Madrid and Barcelona’s rivalry extends far beyond the pitch, and their pursuit of Dalot underscores the stakes of maintaining dominance in La Liga and Europe.
While Manchester United are unlikely to let Dalot go without a fight, the player’s future now hangs in the balance as Spain’s biggest clubs prepare to test the Red Devils’ resolve.
