With Ruben Amorim now at the helm, Manchester United appears poised for a major transformation in their squad. Although significant moves in the upcoming winter transfer window seem unlikely, fans could witness notable departures and high-profile arrivals next summer.

Real Madrid are keen on Liverpool’s star right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold when his contract expires next year. However, the Spanish giants are also casting their eyes on one of Manchester United’s prominent defenders.

Amorim’s fresh approach and strategic plans might see United part ways with their right back if an irresistible offer comes their way. A lucrative deal could provide the financial boost needed to secure key players and reshape the squad, aiming to restore the club’s former glory.

💵 El Madrid pregunta por Diogo Dalot como opción por la derecha y ya sabe su precio: 50 millones de euros.

El club sigue muy de cerca al lateral portugués, aunque sabe que será caro y que para Amorim es una pieza clave.

Real Madrid asks price tag of Diogo Dalot

According to journalist Sergio Fernández via X, Real Madrid have inquired about the availability of Manchester United’s right-back Diogo Dalot, receiving a valuation of €50 million. Dalot’s favourable standing with manager Ruben Amorim, such a substantial offer could prompt United’s ownership to consider his sale next summer.

The funds from Dalot’s potential transfer might be allocated towards acquiring key targets, such as Sporting CP’s forward Viktor Gyökeres. Gyökeres, who joined Sporting in July 2023 for a club-record €24 million, has a release clause set at €100 million.

Dalot, 25, has been a key player for United, making 178 appearances and earning the club’s Player of the Year award last season. The potential sale of Dalot would provide United with substantial financial resources to pursue top-tier talent, aligning with Amorim’s vision to revitalize the squad and restore the club’s competitive stature.

The potential departure of Dalot presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Manchester United. The 27-year-old is a complete and versatile defender, capable of playing effectively on either flank. His contributions have been vital, offering a strong defensive presence and adding balance to the backline when supported appropriately.

However, Dalot’s exit would undoubtedly create a depth gap, particularly in his ability to cover multiple positions. This would place increased pressure on other defenders and developing players to rise to the occasion. Filling the void left by his consistency and reliability will be no easy task for Ruben Amorim, as the Portuguese international has been a key performer for United throughout the current season.
