After his injury, Real Madrid still trusts this defender.

About three seasons ago, Florentino Pérez paid 50 million euros to sign Eder Militao. The Brazilian defender, over time, established himself in the Whites' central defense and has already won eight titles with the giant from the Spanish capital, including a Champions League and a Club World Cup. Even though he only played one game this season, the board of directors is determined to renew his contract and protect him with a shocking exit clause.

Eder Militao suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on August 12 in the match in which Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in the first round of the Spanish league. There it was confirmed that the Brazilian's recovery time will be about 6 to 8 months, so at the beginning of next season he could be returning to the field of play in the best of cases. This will be an extremely important reintegration for Carlo Ancelotti, who has had several headaches in being able to replace the former Porto in defense.

According to the journalist specialized in transfers, Fabrizio Romano, Eder Militao will soon sign a new contract with Real Madrid, which will be valid until 2028, as had been arranged almost a year ago. Like his compatriots Vinicius and Rodrygo, the defender will also be armored for the future, since he will have an exit clause of 1,000 million euros, an identical figure to that of the Merengue attackers. Without a doubt, this will be one of Madrid's big bets, who have made it clear that Militao is essential for the squad.

Real Madrid, in renewal mode

In addition to Vinicius, Rodygo and Eder Militao, Fabrizio Romano reported that the next two players to extend their relationship with Real Madrid will be two key midfielders in the team's functioning. These are Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde, two great talents that the Whites have who will also be protected by a large sum in the coming months.
