Chelsea goes for Militao

The consolidation of Militao (23 years) on the defense of Madrid and in the brazilian team, starter in both teams, has not gone unnoticed by the major clubs in Europe. The Chelsea It is one of them. The entity owned by Abramovich has between eyebrows to the player Brazilian for a long time. He was one of those who tried to sign him when the Real Madrid managed to hire him 50 million euros from Porto in the summer of 2019. And now he returns to the fray…

as he could know AS, Militao is one of the requests that Tuchel has made the leaders of Chelsea for the next summer market. Has it very complicatedbecause although Militao is currently one of the lowest salaries in the Madrid squad (three million gross a year for a starting player not only with the white team but also with Brazil) and could easily improve your situationthe Brazilian does not finish his contract until 2025. In any case, Chelsea intends to probe Madrid with a call at the end of the season to try to please your technician.

Chelsea has a compelling need to strengthen your back line. Tuchel plays many games with three central defenders, and the three main players in the squad are very close to leaving the entity. This is the case, for example, of Rudigerthe German originating in Sierra Leone who he was even linked to Real Madrid, although the white entity has no intention of signing him. Another of his starting defenders, the Danish Christiansenalso ends the contract and has not renewed either. And to others of the fixed back, the experienced Thiago Silva, He only has one year left on his contract (he is already 37 years old).

Chelsea is looking for a renewal deep in the back line. Last summer was very close to signing sevillista Koundébut Monchi had to agree to Lopetegui’s request not to let him out. Even for this market, the Chelsea kept calling her agent. In this case, Koundé agreed to the transfer. In Militao’s, the Chelsea will have it harder next summer, not only because Madrid has no intention of selling (he has successfully resolved the departure of Ramos and Varane), but also because the Brazilian is very happy at Madrid, where he has finally been able to get his head out. More than going out Militao thinks about the possibility of becoming strong in the team and marking an era wearing the white t-shirt.

Militao was, at the time, the most expensive defender signed by Real Madrid. the 50 million that were paid exceed by far the 30 that Madrid had to pay for Pepe, Coentrao, Danilo or Odrizola. After a difficult start, Militao has become one of the important men in the squad along with Courtois, Modric, Vinicius and Benzema. Transfermarkt gives it a market value of 60 million after its last update, a reference price that is usually less than the real one when the operations are carried out. To this day, he is the outfield player with the most minutes on the team. A stronghold for Ancelotti.
