Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot spent the last campaign on loan at AC Milan and his displays convinced the Serie A side to make an effort to keep him around longer.
The Rossoneri’s failure to find an agreement with the Red Devils saw the fullback, who can operate either on the right or left of defence, continue at Old Trafford.
For the past few days, various reports from the Italian media have been discussing AS Roma’s interest in the 22-year-old.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Portugal international is a ‘specific request’ of José Mourinho for the winter market.
His arrival at Roma in January is ‘linked to one specific condition’; Kieran Trippier. If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side can ‘find an agreement’ for the transfer of the Atlético Madrid defender, then United will give the ‘green light’ for Dalot’s exit.
Mourinho’s side want to sign the United player on a loan deal with the ‘option for redemption’, and there can be a ‘positive trend in the negotiations’ in the coming weeks’, if the Premier League side make progress in their efforts to sign Trippier.
To sum it up, Dalot can move to Roma if Manchester United manage to bring the England international to Old Trafford in January.
