Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Eder Militao from FC Porto.
It has been quite an eventful few weeks for Real Madrid – right from consecutive El Clasico defeats and heavy blows in all the competitions they were involved in this season, to eventually firing Santiago Solari from their managerial helm.
However, the Galacticos have acted swiftly to make amends, and they dropped a strong statement by re-signing Zinedine Zidane as their first-team boss.
Now, another good news has been offered to the club’s worldwide fan-base, in the form of a brand new defensive reinforcement.

The 21-year-old has been heavily impressive in what has been his first season in Europe. A host of clubs from all across the continent were said to be keeping an eye on the player, including Manchester United, who were reportedly in pursuit of the Brazilian since Jose Mourinho’s days at the helm of Old Trafford.
With the former Santos starlet now Madrid-bound, it will be interesting to see if he successfully carves a long-term spot in the heart of the 13-time European champions’ backline.
