Real Madrid are showing an interest in signing Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot ahead of the summer transfer window, according to reports in Spain.
Dalot has been a key figure for United for many years now and is one of the longest-serving players in the squad.
The Portuguese international has come under plenty of scrutiny since making the move to Old Trafford, but he's managed to survive under multiple different managers.
Noussair Mazraoui was brought in to provide competition for Dalot, but he's been in and out of the side, partly due to injuries.
If United received a reasonable offer for Dalot, it certainly wouldn't be a surprise if they were willing to consider an exit, and he's now attracting interest from one of the biggest clubs in the world.

According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid are considering a move to sign Manchester United right-back Dalot as they look to find a replacement for Dani Carvajal.
The Spanish club have multiple options for the right-back position, including Achraf Hakimi, but they might struggle to secure the signature of the Paris Saint-Germain star.
The report describes Dalot as 'outstanding', also suggesting that he plays like Cafu.
It remains to be seen whether Madrid will make an official move for Dalot, and it's unclear whether United would be willing to allow him to head through the exit door in the summer transfer window.
Man Utd Should Cash in On Diogo Dalot

Real Madrid are a club that certainly aren't afraid to splash the cash, so if they are willing to stump up a significant fee for Dalot, then the Manchester outfit should be considering a sale.
The Portuguese defender isn't consistent enough for United to consider him untouchable, and a sizeable fee could allow them to bring in an upgrade.
Mazraoui is arguably already an upgrade when fit, so it does feel like a move which would make sense if Madrid are going to up the ante in the summer transfer window.
How Much Would Madrid Value Dalot at?

GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT how much Real Madrid would likely value a player of Dalot's calibre at.
Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Diogo Dalot as a potential right-back reinforcement.
His market valuation of roughly €30m converts to about £26m, likely seen as a reasonable opening valuation from Madrid’s perspective.
However, Manchester United would probably reference earlier reports valuing him nearer €50m, equivalent to around £43m.
Considering his age, versatility, durability, and contract security, United would be reluctant sellers.
A realistic negotiation range would likely sit between £30m–£40m, potentially structured with performance-related add-ons.
Final valuation depends on market competition and squad priorities.
