Atletico Madrid are interested in signing the Manchester United defender, Diogo Dalot.
According to a report from Fichajes, they are keen on the 26-year-old Portuguese international, and it will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with Manchester United at the end of the season. A move in January is highly unlikely, and the Spanish club will have to wait until the summer.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are prepared to sell Dalot at the end of the season. He is their first choice right back, and his departure would be a blow for them. They would need to replace him properly before letting him move on.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to join Atletico Madrid could be exciting for the Portuguese international. He has shown his quality in the Premier League over the years, and he could be open to taking on a new challenge. The opportunity to move to Spain can be quite tempting for Portuguese players because of language and cultural reasons. In addition, Atletico Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in Spain, and they could provide him with a platform to fight for major trophies.
Dalot has also been linked to Real Madrid.
Man United should keep Dalot
Manchester United have not been able to fight for major trophies in recent years. They are looking to build a formal team for the future and need to keep their best players while making quality additions. Keeping the Portuguese international at the club beyond this season would be a wise decision. The 26 year-old entering the peak years of his career, and he could be an important player for Manchester United in the near future as well.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Atletico Madrid are yet to follow up on their interest with an official offer. If they come forward with a tempting proposal, it will be interesting to see how Manchester United react.
There is no doubt that the 26-year-old has the quality to thrive in La Liga, and he could be a useful player for Atletico Madrid if the transfer goes through.
