Real Madrid will reportedly look to sign 22-year-old Ivory Coast international Amad Diallo from Manchester United in the 2025 summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Amad Diallo is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions are scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the 2025 summer transfer window. The 22-year-old Manchester United forward has thus emerged as a target for Los Blancos.
Amad Diallo and his journey at Manchester United
Amad Diallo has endured a frustrating spell with Manchester United since arriving from Atalanta in January 2021. The young attacking prospect joined the Premier League club as a highly-rated prodigy but has had to bide his time to receive fair opportunities with the first-team squad.
Loan spells with Rangers and Sunderland helped the Ivorian, although the frustrations have continued in the first few weeks of the 2024/25 season. The 22-year-old has chipped in with three goals and one assist in only 700 minutes of game time in 15 outings in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Diallo’s progress at Manchester United has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. The latest report has suggested that the Ivory Coast international is a target for Real Madrid, although the Red Devils want to tie him to a bumper new contract.
La Liga beckoning?
Real Madrid’s interest in Amad Diallo is understandable. The reigning La Liga champions have not played cohesive and dominant football thus far in the 2024/25 season, with several factors contributing to their struggles. Toni Kroos’s retirement has left a gaping hole in the first-team squad at Real Madrid, forcing the club into the market.
So, Diallo has emerged as a viable target for Real Madrid, considering the Ivorian attacker can provide a creative solution from the final third. However, prising the young prospect away from Manchester United will be a tall order, even for a club of Real Madrid’s stature.
Recent reports have claimed that the 22-year-old Ivory Coast international is happy at Manchester United amid the Premier League club’s desire to tie him to a new contract. So, it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can turn Diallo’s head in the coming months.
