Real Madrid have taken a key step in consolidating their right-sided position by not sitting back and waiting for Alexandre Arnault to join the club on a free next summer, but instead decisively signing Portugal international Dalozzi from Manchester United during the winter transfer window. That transfer was sold for £45 million (about HK$446 million), setting them up for a challenging second half of the season.
Real Madrid's defense has been in a fragile state, with not only a number of starters getting injured in turn, but also 32-year-old Daniel Kawaja becoming the unavailable option at right tackle. The ongoing injury to Lucas Wasikis has added to the problem. As a result, the club is in dire need of a long-term solution. While the initial target was Arnaut, it is highly likely that Real Madrid will shift their target given Liverpool's stellar performance this season.
Darroch has become the Plan B for Real Madrid's right-hand side, and Manchester United are reportedly open to selling Darroch for £45 million, as long as the price is right. For Daloji, this is a good opportunity for him to "get on board" and show his talent on a bigger stage.
Real Madrid have reportedly completed transfer talks for Daloji and will reopen the transfer market next month.Daloji, 25, joined United from Porto in the summer of 2018 and has six-and-a-half seasons of seniority under his belt, including a loan spell at AC Milan in 2020-21. This season, Daloji has had to make a cameo appearance at left wing with the signing of Masharao, before moving to the left flank when Emolian came on board. With his relatively low salary of just £85,000 a week, it is completely understandable that he is looking for a change in this situation.
