On August 18th, Yahoo Sports, citing Brazilian media outlet UOL Esporte, reported that Real Madrid rejected a €100 million offer from a Saudi Arabian club for Éder Militão. The Brazilian defender will remain at the Bernabéu for the upcoming season.
In the summer of 2019, Real Madrid signed Militão for a transfer fee of €50 million. He has been a key player for the team ever since. However, in the 2023-24 season, Militão suffered an ACL injury, limiting him to just 13 appearances. Despite his injury, he still helped Real Madrid win the La Liga and Champions League titles. Militão played the full 90 minutes in Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, solidifying his position in the team.
Although Real Madrid boast an impressive attack, their defense is not as reassuring. Former captain Nacho has left for Saudi Arabia, and Alaba is just recovering from an injury. This makes Real Madrid reluctant to part ways with one of their defenders.
Militão’s release clause is €500 million, making it extremely difficult for Saudi Arabian clubs to lure him away from Madrid.
