At the start of this month, AS reported Thomas Tuchel has requested Chelsea to bring Éder Militão to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Four days ago, we carried a report from Marca, who explained the Blues are ‘insisting the most’ to sign the Real Madrid player.
The centre-back has established himself as one of the starters at the Spanish capital club, even before Sergio Ramos and Raphaël Varane left them last summer.
His performances for Los Blancos has caught the attention of the Champions League winners and Manchester United. That’s according to a report on Gianluca Di Marzio‘s website, who explain the steps taken by the west London club to acquire the Brazil international’s signature.
United have held several talks with the defender’s camp since last summer, but he isn’t keen on making a switch to Old Trafford.
Chelsea, who are interested in the 24-year-old, have already held talks with his agent last December. However, nothing concrete came out of the first meeting, but the belief is the two parties can meet again ‘in March to hold further discussions’.
Despite Chelsea’s interest, Militão’s ‘main priority’ is to sign a new deal at Real Madrid. He wants to stay at the Bernabéu and Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who are also keen to hand the South American an extension, will meet his representatives next month.
