We can confirm Dalot\u2019s<\/a> long-term future is being discussed internally by Man Utd, as the club have been made aware of possible interest in the Portuguese international.<\/p>\n Sources have told us that Real Madrid<\/a> hold a long-term interest in Dalot, despite signing Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool in the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n Dani Carvajal is not getting any younger, and Dalot\u2019s versatility to play as a right-back, right wing-back, left-back and left wing-back is an appealing factor to the Spanish and European giants.<\/p>\n Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich are also fans of the 26-year-old Portugal international.<\/p>\n We have been informed by sources that Dalot\u2019s future is being discussed by Wilcox and his staff.<\/p>\n While Wilcox and his staff are happy with Dalot as he is doing well, they are also aware that the former FC Porto player\u2019s next deal would require a bit of a pay rise, so there are early-stage discussions about him.<\/p>\n Dalot\u2019s current deal runs until 2028 with a one-year option, but his people have approached Man Utd<\/a> about opening talks in 2026.<\/p>\n Man Utd are now assessing whether they should be keeping Dalot long-term or if they are ready to move on from him \u2013 possibly as soon as next summer.<\/p>\n While providing a crucial squad role, Dalot is not the first choice in Ruben Amorim\u2019s 3-4-2-1 formation at Man Utd.<\/p>\n Dalot joined Man Utd from FC Porto in 2018 for \u20ac22million (\u00a319.3m, $26m) and has made 224 appearances for the Red Devils so far in his career, scoring 10 goals and providing 19 assists in the process.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: \u20ac45m Chelsea defender\u2019s agent \u2018approaches Real Madrid\u2019 for January transfer \u2013 report<\/a><\/p>\n Latest Real Madrid transfer news: Bayern Munich raid, Arda Guler stance<\/p>\n Meanwhile, sources have told TEAMtalk\u2019s transfer correspondent, Graeme Bailey, that Real Madrid are planning to raid Bayern Munich<\/a> for one of their best players.<\/p>\n Arda Guler has made up his mind about Real Madrid<\/a> amid interest from Manchester United.<\/p>\n
