— If the right opportunity comes along, if there’s that desire from both sides and from my family as well, why not? I like competition, that routine… It would be a good learning experience for me. I’ve never been to Brazil. I’d really like to go to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. São Paulo, no — said Dalot in an interview with CazéTV.

WHICH SIDE DOES HE PLAY ON, AFTER ALL?

Diogo Dalot plays on both flanks. However, the Portuguese player prefers to play on the right side, where he is most often used at Manchester United. In the 2025/26 season, the player scored one goal and provided three assists in 36 matches. This was the Lusitanian’s seventh year with the Red Devils.

Before moving to Manchester, Dalot spent one year at Milan (ITA) and came through the youth ranks of Futebol Clube do Porto, in Portugal. Wearing the national team shirt, he has scored three goals in 33 matches. Now, the player hopes to be a starter at the World Cup.

However, taking Dalot away from England is not an easy task. The player is under contract until June 2028 and is highly valued on the market. According to the website Transfermarket, the Portuguese player is worth 30 million euros. In other words, R$ 176 million at the current exchange rate.
