Chelsea considering move for South American No.3 defender

Chelsea have reportedly made a €40m (£34m) approach for Real Madrid’s centre-back Eder Militao but are likely to be left frustrated with their attempt.

The 23-year-old initially found it tough to settle at Los Blancos following a move from Portuguese giants, Porto in July 2019, however, he has been a key player for the club this season, playing in all 16 of their fixtures in all competitions.

According to El Nacional, Chelsea head coach, Thomas Tuchel is a huge fan of the Brazil international, and the defending Champions League winners have placed a €40m (£34m) offer on the table.

However, the report suggests that the Los Blancos are determined to keep hold of the South American centre-back at the club and are planning to open talks over a new long-term contract at the Bernabeu.

Militao – also allegedly attracting interest from ‘other giants’ in European football – still has four years left to run on his current deal with Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Chelsea tried to sign a new defender during the summer transfer window, however, were frustrated in their attempts to secure the services of Sevilla’s star Jules Kounde to the club.
