Last season, Diogo Dalot was loaned by Manchester United to Milan.
The Portuguese defender couldn’t find a place in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad, who decided to almost solely rely on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and so a move was organised to help the youngster develop some more.
While he wasn’t a regular starter under Stefano Pioli, he did get used a fair amount, as the Italian manager made the most of Dalot’s versatility, capable of playing either down the right or as a backup for Théo Hernández.
The loan was a dry one, meaning no fee was attached to it, and so the 22-year-old was expected return to Old Trafford at the end of the season.
Down his end, Milan News are reporting that Dalot is ‘pushing’ to stay at the Serie A side, but ‘for now’, Manchester United ‘aren’t open to a new loan’.
It’s stated the English club want to ‘cash in’ from a potential sale of the Portuguese full-back, and the two clubs ‘will continue to negotiate to try and find an agreement’.
