Real Madrid are reportedly considering a £50 million bid for Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot because they do not want to wait for Trent Alexander-Arnold, which is surprising.
A transfer would consequently have to take place in January, which clearly puts Ruben Amorim’s ambitions in jeopardy.
The Portuguese manager has already revealed that one of his first-team players wishes to play more, and he appears willing to make a contentious transfer move.
Although Alexander-Arnold is still a topic of discussion at Real Madrid, CaughtOffside sources understand that Los Blancos have already spoken with their Manchester United counterparts about the possible transfer of the 25-year-old Dalot, though Amorim will try to turn down any offers for a player who won the Player’s Player of the Year award last season and started every Premier League match.
According to sources, Real’s La Liga rivals, Barcelona, are anticipated to step in on any deal if the player himself suggests a possible departure.
The Catalan giants’ Portuguese connection — Deco is the club’s current sports director — could tip the scales in their favor.

Dani Carvajal’s injury makes it more important for Real Madrid to reinforce their right-back position, with Jules Kounde’s dismal recent showing for Barcelona providing Hansi Flick with fuel for thought.
With less than a month until the transfer window reopens for business, clubs must begin to position themselves now if they hope to clinch a deal in the first month of the year.
