Real Madrid reach agreement with Militao to pay his €50 million release clause

Madrid bound

The Porto defender who has been on the radar of top European clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea has now decided that Real Madrid is the club he wants to join. The club has reached an agreement with the right-back to pay his €50 million release clause, as per AS.

However, the signing will not happen in this transfer window and Real Madrid will sign him in the summer. Eder Militao has only played half a season in Europe but has already garnered interest from several top clubs.

Beyond June 31, 2019, Militao's release clause at Porto will increase to €75 million and hence Real Madrid are keen on wrapping up the deal as soon as possible.
