Real Madrid have reportedly added Manchester United duo Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot to their wishlist.
Following the appointment of Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils have been tipped to undergo a major squad revamp, with only eight or nine stars deemed unsellable, while everyone else’s future is considered up in the air.
However, the rumored list of untouchables doesn’t include Martinez whose performances have yet to convince everyone at the club, despite being a fan favorite for his tenacity and fighting spirit.
The 26-year-old joined Man United in the summer of 2022, following his old Ajax manager Erik ten Hag. Therefore, some are speculating that the Dutch manager’s exit could spell the end of Lisandro’s time at Old Trafford.
According to TalkSport, the Argentine has attracted interest from Real Madrid who are looking to bolster their defensive line amidst the ongoing injury crisis.

The source mentions several other Premier League profiles who have caught the eye of Los Blancos, including Lisandro’s Man United teammate Dalot.
The 25-year-old has been a regular feature this season, whether during Ten Hag’s reign or with his compatriot Amorim. The versatile full-back is well-appreciated for his ability to play on either flank. So it remains to be seen if the Red Devils would be willing to part ways with either man in January.
The report also reveals Real Madrid are also tracking Tottenham duo Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro, while their interest in Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is well-illustrated.
On another note, TalkSport names Marcus Rashford as another Man United star who is considered expendable, with Paris Saint-Germain keeping tabs on the situation. However, the source believes a January move is unlikely to materialize.
