Milan have emerged as one of the clubs closely monitoring the situation of Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot, with Theo Hernandez on the radar of Bayern Munich. The Porto youth product spent the 2021/22 season on loan at San Siro, establishing himself as a key contributor to the team’s success enroute to a vital UEFA Champions League qualification.
Despite falling out of contention to Aaron Wan-Bissaka in recent weeks, Dalot is currently in discussions with Manchester United over a contract extension. According to Manchester Evening News, his return to Italy is being considered as the Rossoneri look to strengthen their defensive options.

The club’s interest in the talented 22-year-old stems from his versatility, strong defensive skills, and attacking prowess down the right flank – having played a key role under Stefano Pioli two seasons prior. Milan’s relationship with the player and his familiarity with their style could give them an advantage in securing his services once again.
Juventus and Roma are the other Serie A outfits keeping close tabs. However, with Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund also reportedly keeping a watchful eye on Dalot, the competition for his signature is bound to intensify.
