The Real Madrid It has in Militao (22 years) to a diamond to shape and turn into an elite center-back for the next few years. This is how they see it from within the club, and have been convinced by the Brazilian's latest performances against Liverpool Y FC Barcelona. His physical exuberance has been mixed with tactical prowess and superlative stealing knack. Although he has to improve some aspects, especially with the ball at his feet, the feeling he leaves after this week is that he can do a long run in white.
In the last Classic it was one of the best. He recovered five balls, cleared six and did not miss it once. He won two duels and cut an aerial play. With the sum of minutes, your performance has gone in crescendo. This is also highly valued Zidane and the coaching staff: despite not having had many opportunities, they have taken advantage of them and are being fundamental at the most important moment of the season.
Although Madrid continues to have in mind to strengthen the defense, the level that Militao is showing helps to plan the next season. A summer is coming with curves in defense, with possible important exits such as Bouquets, which remains unrenewed, or Varane. Negotiations with Praise are on course and the Austrian aims to play in the Bernabeu next season, but it is a complementary signing because it would arrive free and because it can adapt to different positions. Militao, in any case, could stop the arrival of a great center-back like Koundé or Pau Torres, also on the agenda, if the price of either of the two shoots up. Madrid's priority continues to be in attack and, taking into account the great moment of Militao and Nacho, no crazy things will be committed in the incorporations.
Militao slows down the central operation of the summer

What seems to have stopped short is the possibility of the Brazilian coming out this summer. In the club they count on him seeing what he is capable of. Also Zidane, who is very confident in his possibilities. Currently, there is only one option to exit, and is that the Militao himself asks for it and that an irrefutable offer arrives. Two conditions that, today, do not seem to be fulfilled. The bet on him was very important (50 million in 2019) and in Madrid they continue to believe that it was a success. The Brazilian is showing it.
