Real Madrid and Barcelona are always fighting inside or outside the pitch. When a team is sad, the rival is happy and vice versa. The new battle has arisen for a young Portuguese pearl. His name is Diego Dalop, plays for Porto and he’s a right back.
Dalop is only 17 years old but he trains sometimes with Porto. Currently he’s playing in the young team of Porto but he has also played with the Portuguese national team under 17 and under 19. Actually, he played the final of the Euro U-17 last summer, where he beat Spain.
Dalop is also playing the Youth League with Porto and he’s calling the attention of the scouters of the big teams. Barcelona have spotted the youngster and they’ve even made an offer of €10M for the young star. However, the offer was rejected, according to the Spanish newspaper As.
The young talent has a release clause of €20M but he could leave the club for less money. Real Madrid have shown also interest in the young defender and Dalop is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. Another chance for Los Blancos.

Some years ago, Florentino Pérez changed the strategy. Now Real Madrid are signing young talents in Europe and giving them on loan some years, so they can go back to Spain and play for Los Blancos. Marco Asensio, Martin Odegaard, Jesús Vallejo or Pacheco are some examples of this new politics.
Actually, this new politics have been very successfully recently. In the first squad of Real Madrid we can see Morata, Carvajal, Casemiro or Asensio. All four left the club and after came back as great players.
Dalop could be the next option for the right back, especially now that Danilo could leave the club because he’s been linked with Juventus and Liverpool. Neto Neves, 19 years old, is also another interesting young player from Porto.
