Real Madrid ready £50m offer as Ten Hag favourite nears exit this January -Reports

Real Madrid may make Manchester United a serious transfer bid as their pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold takes a different turn, while a favorite of Erik ten Hag is in the process of moving. Dalot is pursued by Real Madrid.

According to i, Real Madrid may change their objective this month to Diogo Dalot, although they still have their sights set on Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool.

According to reports, Real Madrid may try to outbid United by offering £50 million for Dalot after Liverpool rejected their £20 million offer for Alexander-Arnold.

According to reports, Real Madrid is not certain they can sign Alexander-Arnold, whose contract expires in the summer and whose future is still up in the air, and they need to cover the void left by the injured Dani Carvajal.

Long-time target on the move
Borussia Dortmund forward Donyell Malen looks set to join Aston Villa in the January transfer window. Malen was a favourite of Erik ten Hag, who wanted to sign him for Manchester United during his time as manager, but The Athletic reports that Villa are now closing in.

Dortmund have pushed back a first offer of €18million (£15m) plus add-ons, but negotiations will continue. Malen is under contract with Dortmund until June 2026 and has five goals and one assist in 20 appearances so far this season

Former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre has urged the club to sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi. The England defender was wanted by Newcastle in the summer, but their attempts to sign him fell flat and he has continued to impress at Selhurst Park this season

“Marc Guehi should definitely be on Manchester United’s list as a long-term option in defence,” Silvestre told BoyleSports. “What he is doing at Palace is proving he can be tested and perform week in and week out. I have been really impressed with his performances and I think he’d fit in really well with Ruben Amorim’s style of play

“He is not shy of playing vertical passes and is always alert, he is strong, wins his duels and is good one on one, he’d fit in well at United.”
