The Blancos are in danger of losing a valuable asset as he prioritises winning a place in the Selecao’s 2022 World Cup squad

Real Madrid want to keep hold of Eder Militao but the Brazilian defender is considering a summer transfer, Goal can confirm.

Madrid spent €50 million (£43m/$60m) to bring Militao to Santiago Bernabeu from Porto in the summer of 2019, but he has since struggled to live up to that hefty price tag.

The centre-half, who can also operate as a right-back or defensive midfielder, is still behind Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane in the squad pecking order after two seasons in the Spanish capital, and is now mulling over his options with the transfer window set to reopen in June.
