As: Chelsea are interested in bringing in Real Madrid defender Militao this summer

According to the "As" newspaper, Chelsea are interested in signing Real Madrid centre-back Militao this summer. The 23-year-old Militão is a regular main player for Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, and his performances will not be ignored by Europe's top clubs, of which Chelsea is one.

Chelsea have been following Militan for a long time, trying to sign him in the summer of 2019 before Real Madrid got a Brazilian defender from Porto for a transfer fee of 50 million euros.

Chelsea's desire to get Militão this summer would be complicated, and although the Brazilian defender is one of the lowest-paid players in Real Madrid's squad, the issue of his treatment could easily be resolved. Militang earns just €3 million a year at Real Madrid and his contract with the club expires in 2025. In any case, in order to satisfy their own manager, Chelsea will try to bring in Militang this summer.

Chelsea desperately needed to strengthen the backline, with Tuchel playing many games with three centre-backs and all three close to leaving Stamford Bridge. For example, Rudiger is like this. The German defender even had a scandal with Real Madrid, but the La Liga giants had no intention of signing him for the time being. Christensen's contract with Chelsea expires this summer and it looks like he won't be renewing his contract with the Blues. As for Thiago Silva, his contract with Chelsea expires next summer and he is 37 years old.

Chelsea were close to signing Sevilla defender Conde last summer, but Munch promised manager Lopetegui that he would not let his main centre-back leave. In the past transfer window, Chelsea contacted Comte's agent again, and the players have agreed to join. It would be very difficult for Chelsea to bring in Militan, not only because Real Madrid had no intention of selling their main centre-back, but also because the players themselves were happy in Madrid.

Militão was the player who spent the most on bringing in defenders in Real Madrid history, and the club paid him a transfer fee far more than the 30 million euros they paid for Pepe, Coentrand, Danilo and Odriozola. In the German transfer market, Militang's value is considered to be 60 million euros. Today, he, along with Courtois, Modric, Benzema and Vinicius, is a mainstay of Real Madrid.
