Barcelona trying to ‘disrupt’ new contract talks between Manchester United and Diogo Dalot
Spanish giants Barcelona are trying to ‘disrupt’ talks between Manchester United and Diogo Dalot over a proposed new contract, according to Mundo Deportivo (h/t Manchester Evening News).

Subsequently, the Portuguese joined AC Milan on loan for the 2020/21 campaign. The 23-year-old enjoyed considerable minutes and opportunities in Italy.
