Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti reportedly remains interested in signing Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot.
Ancelotti, who has just returned to the Bernabeu after departing Everton, is unlikely to be provided with a significant war chest this summer unless club officials can get several big-earners off their wage bill.
Nevertheless, according to AS, Ancelotti has identified Dalot as a possible addition before the end of the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old has just enjoyed a productive loan period at AC Milan, making 20 starts and 13 substitute outings in all competitions.
However, United are not expected to make a decision over the Portuguese's future until they can determine whether Kieran Trippier will arrive from Atletico Madrid.
Dalot has two years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford and is unlikely to pen fresh terms while he is regarded as backup to Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
