Manchester United are prepared to pay over the odds to sign Porto right back Diogo Dalot, because they want to get in there before any of their rivals.
The 19-year-old has seemingly emerged out of nowhere as a transfer target for the Red Devils, with reports first surfacing on Tuesday that the club are set to pay his £17.5m release clause.
That release clause becomes active tomorrow but United, as reported by the Times, are contemplating paying £19m to make sure they sign him today (Thursday).
Dalot hasn't really been linked with any other Premier League clubs, but the Red Devils are not willing to take the risk and want his signing confirmed asap.
