According to the Italian newspaper Calcium Mercatothe Real Madrid has no intention of selling to Eder Militao in the next summer transfer market, despite the interest that Chelsea has shown in recent months to make him one of Antonio Rüdiger’s replacements.
The merengue team, which has just lost to PSG in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, will not let the Brazilian central defender leave because he has performed at a very high level in the last two seasons already. who has formed an impressive partnership with David Alaba, being one of the strengths of Carlo Ancelotti’s team so far this season.
It does not move
Chelsea were interested in making an offer of 60 million euros for the Frenchman, a price higher than what the La Liga leader invested at the time when he signed him from FC Porto. The offer was not that important either, so the merengue team never considered responding positively to the first informal contact.
Éder Militao’s contract ends in the summer of 2025, so he is not expected to leave Real Madrid in the short term, except when the club is looking for a new top-level central defender who can enter the rotation alongside him and Alaba. Names like Jules Koundé, Antonio Rüdiger, Wesley Fofana and Ronald Araújo are the names that have sounded in recent months to occupy that role in the rotation, which could cost the Brazilian his starting role.
Despite the need to sign an elite central defender, Militao is confident of staying at the club with quality minutes because his performance is impressive and Carlo Ancelotti trusts him a lot.
