Chelsea planning to bid €80m to sign Real Madrid star – Reports
Chelsea are reportedly plotting a stunning move for Real Madrid defender Eder Militao. They are ready to pay €80 million for the Brazilian as they look to sign a replacement for Cesar Azpilicueta, who is heading to Atletico Madrid.
As per a report in El Nacional, Militao is the latest player on Chelsea’s radar this summer. The Blues are looking to add experience to the squad and see the Real Madrid star as the ideal signing.
However, they are not alone in the race as Manchester United also registered interest earlier this week. Erik ten Hag wants him as the replacement for Harry Maguire, as he does not trust the club captain at Old Trafford.
Carlo Ancelotti is not willing to part ways with Militao and is working on his plans for the next season with the Brazilian at the heart of his defense. The 25-year-old played 33 matches in La Liga last season and finished with 51 games in all competitions.
