Real Madrid transfer news: Real Madrid to make a shock €120 million bid to sign forward rarely linked to them before and more - January 17, 2019

#2 Eder Militao

Militao could join Madrid

Real Madrid’s interest in Eder Militao seems legit as numerous sources have claimed that the Galacticos have approached the player. The Porto defender has been on the radar of the Merengues for a while now but they aren’t the only one interested in him.

Manchester United were also linked to the player and so was Barcelona. The Catalans, however, opted to sign Jean-Claire Todibo on a Bosman transfer, leaving Madrid with one less competitor.

According to Marca, the Bernabeu outfit are going to pay the defender’s release clause of €50 million in order to bring him in the summer. His clause goes up to €75 million after July 15, 2019, which is perhaps why the Galacticos are in a bit of a hurry.

Meanwhile, Sportv also think that the Brazilian could join the Bernabeu as they claim that he has verbally agreed upon a deal with the Blancos.
