Currently with the Portugal squad at the Euros, Diogo Dalot is living an unexpected summer, only with the team because Joao Cancelo had to pull out at the last minute.
Still, there might be hope from Manchester United’s that he gets a chance to showcase his ability to help up his price should a team be interested in buying him.
If that doesn’t happen, however, a new loan to Milan could be on the table, where the Portuguese defender spent last season for what ended up being a rather productive year.
Gazzetta dello Sport look at the situation on Friday, and claim ‘there are positive signals’ from Manchester regarding a potential renewal of last season’s deal.
Part of this apparently U-turn from the Red Devils, who were initially against the idea, is ‘Dalot’s desire’ to remain in Milan, and that is ‘evidently guiding the strategies of the Glazer club.
United have ‘opened the hypothesis of a new loan, but as long as the formula faithfully follows that of the past season’, meaning a dry deal that would see the Portugal international return to Old Trafford come the end of it.
While a step in the right direction, this isn’t what those in charge at Milan wanted, as they ‘instead would like to reserve the possibility of redeeming’ Dalot.
Still, ‘Manchester’s opening is a turning point that must be exploited’ and ‘the speeches will be deepened’.
