Manchester United and Liverpool have been eyeing a move for FC Porto defender, Eder Militao but latest reports confirm that Real Madrid are also interested in him.
The Galacticos just recorded their 6th loss of the La Liga season last night with 0-2 showing against Real Sociedad in the Santiago Bernabeu and Florentino Perez clearly believes a change is necessary.
While the defence is still manned by Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Marcelo and Dani Carvajal – the same quartet that led the side to two consecutive Champions League victories, Madrid could use some new faces in the dressing room.
Militao has a release clause in his contract worth £42.5m and he was primarily being scouted by former United boss, Jose Mourinho. Now reports claim that scouts from the Spanish capital have been monitoring the 20-year-old centre-back and is greatly impressed with his attitude both on and off the pitch.
Militao is a regular starter for Porto and has already earned a senior call-up to the Brazil national team, making his debut in September 2018. He originally started his professional career with the Brazilian outfit, Sao Paolo and only signed a 5-year contract extension with Porto last summer.
Now the Portuguese side is persuading the youngster to agree on a new deal to increase his release clause.
