Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot is a wanted man.
Coveted by big shots like Barcelona and a former Bayern Munich target, it is now Juventus who call up the talented right-back.
Sport Witness reports that, “Gazzetta dello Sport on Monday pointed out that the Juventus manager wants to sign him.
“They look at who can compete with Juan Cuadrado and explain that Dalot ‘continues to be the dream’ of Max Allegri”.
It is acknowledged in the article that it is a difficult mission for the Old Lady, as United are about to exercise their option to extend Dalot’s contract by one year.
Even so, if the 23-year-old is unwilling to sign a new contract at Old Trafford, the Red Devils could feel compelled to sell in the summer of 2023 to avoid losing the star for nothing a year later.
Dalot has been one of Erik ten Hag’s best players since the manager took over at United.
He has played in all of United’s games this season, except the last one against Fulham, when he was suspended.
Originally brought to the club by José Mourinho, he was consistently overlooked by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who preferred Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the role.
During Solskjaer’s reign, Dalot had a season in Serie A with AC Milan, where he enjoyed moderate success.
But it’s his form at United that has made the Portuguese the right-back every major club wants to buy.
Having also impressed at the World Cup, winning a starting job over Manchester City’s highly rated João Cancelo for his national team and entering contract negotiations at this stage of his career, United will have a job on their hands to keep him in Old Trafford for the long haul
