Trent Alexander-Arnold remains the first choice for Real Madrid management to support the right-back position, whether in the winter or next summer, but the management has also developed an alternative plan in the event that the player decides to renew with his current club, Liverpool.
This is what the “Relevo” network revealed, which said in a lengthy report that the Royal Club management has its eye on one of the Premier League stars to support the right flank if the contract with Arnold fails.
This star is Manchester United’s right-back, Diogo Dalot, whose contract with the Red Devils still extends until the summer of 2028.
Real Madrid officials are aware that the Arnold issue has not been resolved, and that Liverpool management will do everything it can in the coming months to renew the player’s contract, which is why the trend at that time will be towards Dalot.
The only problem with Dalot is the expected value of the deal, as Manchester United will initially demand 50 million euros, in addition to the player’s salary and commissions.
Dalot joined United in 2018 from Porto for 22 million euros, and has recently succeeded in securing a basic position for himself with the Red Devils, so much so that new coach Ruben Amorim praised him greatly and considered him a nucleus that can be built upon for the future.
Real Madrid officials see the 25-year-old as a great long-term option for the right flank, and entering into negotiations with him depends on Arnold’s final decision to renew or leave the Reds.
