Today's biggest transfer stories
Real Madrid are reportedly keeping tabs on Manchester United wing-back Diogo Dalot amid doubts surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold's future, per TeamTalk. The England international has struggled to hold down a regular spot under Xabi Alonso and Dalot is seen as a replacement for Dani Carvajal.
AC Milan director Igli Tare has confirmed the Serie A giants have held talks to renew Mike Maignan's contract. The France goalkeeper's deal expires in June and Chelsea reportedly hold an interest. But Tare told DAZN: “He’s a leader, a top guy, he’s happy at AC Milan and we’d be happy to keep him. We are in active talks.”
Bayern Munich centre-back Dayot Upamecano looks set to leave on a free transfer in the summer. Bayern are still negotiating to extend his deal, but according to Foot Mercato, their latest offer hasn't matched his demands. Real Madrid reportedly have a 'verbal agreement' with the 27-year-old, while Liverpool are also interested.
