ZIDANE SIGNED FIRST PLAYER AFTER HIS COMEBACK AS REAL MADRID MANAGER

Zinedine Zidane enjoyed great success for Real Madrid before resigning in the summer of 2018, but the France 98 World Cup winner rejoined the club after the sacking of former teammate Santiago Solari, and the French Gaffer has signed Brazilian defender Militao as his first signing of Zidane on his second coming.

The return of Zinedine Zidane has been the first stone of the reconstruction of Real Madrid, who have endured a horrible season, and only boast of the FIFA World Club Cup as their only trophy this season.

The signing of the central Eder Militao will become the second stroke of effect of the Madridista entity to alleviate the disappointment of a season without titles – except capital surprise in LaLiga- and, incidentally, sow the illusion among a hobby somewhat touched by the poor results harvested this season.

Eder Militao will become a Real Madrid player before the end of March. The agreement between the Oporto, the Madridista entity and the player is total, once the problems that existed with the payment to Sao Paulo of the training rights have been overcome.

The understanding has come quickly and the operation, when the Oporto is listed on the stock exchange, must be made public. The idea is that next week the contracting of this player becomes official, which comes to reinforce in the centre of the defense that this season has suffered enough for the injuries.

Danilo was the last player to join Real Madrid from Porto and his signing was also announced in March, just at the moment when the operation was closed. The Portuguese team is obliged to do so and the story will be repeated in the case of Militao. The clause of rescission of the Brazilian was 50 million euros as long as the transaction was closed before July 15. Outside that date, the price of the termination of the Militao contract would have increased by 50% . That is, up to 75 million euros, with a single and immediate payment.

This is one of the reasons that have led the white club to make sure of the player and the Portuguese club to avoid the price increase. Without forgetting the presence of other teams that have tried to take the central and what has anticipated the movement of the Madrid entity. Militao caught the attention of the best teams in Europe in the first half of the season, which was his first campaign in Europe.

Quick and forceful it became one of the revelations of European football. The arrival of Pepe to the Portuguese eleven has taken the Brazilian to the right wing and although he is complying, his performance is not the same as when he plays in the center of defense.

So far he has played 34 games for Porto in what is his first year in Europe, showing a remarkable level and, especially, without accusing the change in the way he plays. The Brazilian has enough football and personality to continue climbing steps and wear the Real Madrid jersey without apparent complications.

Militao has also called attention to the Brazilian team and has entered the last Tite list for matches against Panama and the Czech Republic, a prelude to the Copa América that will be played in his country this summer.

With a Brazilian passport, Militao will occupy the third foreign place of Real Madrid in the face of next season, where he will coincide with his compatriots Rodrygo and Vinícius, as well as Marcelo, if he continues, and Casemiro, the latter two with a Spanish passport. The arrival of Militao will imply an overpopulation in the central defense demarcation of the Madrid team.

Thus, everything indicates that Jesús Vallejo, who until now has had a testimonial participation in the first white team, could return to leave on loan (it was already in the Eintracht Frankfurt) or traded with the option of repurchase by Real Madrid. The club, despite the physical problems of the Aragonese footballer, still relies on its projection and does not want to lose sight of it in the short and medium term.
