Fenerbahce offered the chance to sign Manchester United star Diogo Dalot on loan
According to Takvim (h/t Sport Witness), Turkish side Fenerbahce has been offered the chance to sign Manchester United star Diogo Dalot on loan.
The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Italian giants AC Milan. While he did not particularly stand out, Dalot’s performances showed enough to suggest that he could be an excellent right-back in the future.
With his future at United in doubt, the Portuguese star could be on the move once again this summer. Fenerbahce could be in the market for aright-back if Gokhan Gonul ends up leaving.
According to the report, Fenerbahce’s offer will be for a one year loan.It remains unlikely that an obligation to buy will be included in it.
The Turks will however face competition from Milan who are keen to take the player back this summer. Dalot too is keen to return to the San Siro and could give the Rosonneri the edge if it comes to a transfer battle.
Dalot’s contract with United runs out in 2023. His position at the club will be called into question especially if we secure Kieran Trippier. If that is to be the case, then selling him this summer rather than loaning him will be the best way forward this summer.
Dalot was called up to replace Joao Cancelo in the Portugal squad for this summer’s Euros. The defending champions begin their title defence against Hungary on Tuesday night. Just how much playing time the 22-year-old will garner remains to be seen.

A talented player capable of playing on either flank, Dalot has been besieged by injuries and poor form at United. He has so far been given a better rub of luck this summer and will hopefully turn his fortunes around.
