Man Utd star who seemed to have secured future put into transfer focus again with €12m Serie A link

Diogo Dalot has seen his Manchester United future come into question again after an Italian side showed interest in a summer transfer, according to reports.

Man Utd welcomed Diogo Dalot back into the first-team fold in the summer after a loan spell with AC Milan. He made 21 appearances in Serie A, which was the most he had ever played in a league season.

Upon his return, the full-back may have had doubts about matching those numbers in Manchester. Aaron Wan-Bissaka remained ahead of him in the pecking order.

As such, there were links with a return to Italy with Roma, where he would have reunited with Jose Mourinho, in the Autumn. But Dalot’s situation changed between that time and the January transfer window.

Indeed, the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and appointment of Ralf Rangnick as interim manager opened a new door for Dalot. He has been regarded a better fit for Rangnick’s tactics than Wan-Bissaka.

As such, he has made 12 appearances since Rangnick took charge. Wan-Bissaka has only made three, although illness was to blame for his absence for some games last month.

Before the January transfer window opened, it was clear that Dalot would be off the market. As the summer approaches, though – and with the identity of Rangnick’s successor unclear – rumours are resurfacing of a return to Italy.

This time, the interested party – according to La Nazione – is Fiorentina. Currently enjoying their best season in Serie A for a long time, the revitalised club could make further progress in the summer.

They want to strengthen their defence and have identified Dalot as someone to help in that task. They have not forgotten the form he showed last time he was in Italy.

There will only be one year left on Dalot’s contract with Man
