Lisbon, Portugal — Shocking reports emerged this morning alleging that Manchester United and Portugal right-back Diogo Dalot has become the victim of a high-stakes personal betrayal involving a €10 million luxury mansion and his rumored girlfriend.
According to Portuguese outlet Diário Real, the 25-year-old footballer was allegedly misled into signing property transfer documents under the impression they were routine renovation permits. Sources claim those papers, in fact, granted full ownership of the waterfront Lisbon estate to the woman he was believed to be dating privately for nearly a year.
Dalot, known for keeping his personal life discreet, reportedly discovered the truth only weeks later, when a legal notice arrived indicating he no longer held title to the mansion — a sprawling property he purchased in 2022 and described in past interviews as “a dream home for the future.”
“He was stunned,” a source close to Dalot’s inner circle told Record. “He trusted her deeply. This wasn’t just about money — it was personal.”
Faced with the risk of losing the estate permanently, Dalot has now hired a top-tier legal team in both Lisbon and Manchester to pursue immediate reversal of ownership. Initial filings have already been submitted to the Portuguese Property Court, citing fraud, manipulation, and misrepresentation.
The alleged ex-girlfriend has yet to release a public statement, but insiders claim she is preparing a legal defense asserting that the property was gifted “knowingly and voluntarily” by Dalot — a claim his lawyers are calling “absolutely false and unsupported by any evidence.”
Social media exploded within minutes of the news breaking, with fans rallying behind the defender:
“Bro marked his man on the pitch but not in his house 💔”
“He needs to defend more off the field now than on it.”
“Diogo, you can recover from this — just don’t let her take Old Trafford next.”
Dalot is reportedly “fully focused” on the legal process and has remained committed to Portugal’s UEFA Nations League preparations. Teammates are said to be supporting him quietly behind the scenes, with Bruno Fernandes commenting briefly:
“He’s strong. He’ll handle it, like he always does.”
As the legal drama unfolds, one thing is certain — this off-field twist could prove just as intense as any battle Dalot has fought on the pitch.
