Borussia Dortmund reportedly in talks to sign Diogo Dalot

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly in talks to sign Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot ahead of next week’s transfer deadline day.

Borussia Dortmund would like to sign a right-back before the transfer window closes next Tuesday. They have been linked with a number of names in recent weeks. And joining that list now is Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot. According to Sky Sports, the Black and Yellows are interested in Dalot and are looking to sign him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

The report has been confirmed by the Athletic, although they do add that the likeliest outcome is Dalot staying at Manchester United. While Sport1 claim that the right-back wants to join Borussia Dortmund.

Dalot, who joined Manchester United from FC Porto in 2018, has two years left on his current contract. He has been limited to a total of just 35 appearances for the Premier League side so far, and spent last season out on loan at AC Milan. He scored two goals and registered three assists in 33 appearances for the Italian side last season. Sky Sports add that Bayern Munich and AC Milan are also interested in signing the 22 year old.

Dalot is considered to be one of the most talented young full-backs in Portugal, and also made two appearances for his country at the European Championships earlier this summer. He is primarily a right-back, but is also capable of playing on the left. He would certainly be an interesting option should the move go through.

Borussia Dortmund are looking for a new right-back to compete with Thomas Meunier following Felix Passlack’s unconvincing start to the season. With Mateu Morey set to miss the majority of the season, BVB do not have too many quality options at right-back at the moment.
