The rumors are set to be finalized this week after the team newspaper revealed that Varane could be moving from Real Madrid to Manchester United. However, despite the fact that Ramos has also returned to Paris, Real Madrid's backline looks like it faces a huge challenge, but it doesn't.
Let's not forget that Real Madrid still have a powerhouse player in Militang.
Brazilian center back Militão, Zinedine Zidane's key reinforcement after his return to the Bernabeu, with a transfer fee of up to 50 million euros, setting a record for center back reinforcements in Real Madrid's history, and also the second highest-priced player in the history of Portuguese soccer, second only to the 60 million euros that Porto sold Hulk for in 2012 to Zenit.
Militão, born on January 18, 1998, joined Barclays Premier League giants São Paulo's youth academy at the age of 14 and made his first-team debut in May 2017.Porto signed him in August 2018 for a transfer fee of €4 million, including signing-on fees and intermediary commissions, for a total of €7 million.
When he first came to Porto, Militão mainly as a center back, and then in the old Real Madrid Pepe joined, changed to play right back. 7 months later, Porto sold him to Real Madrid, deducting the cost and compensation for São Paulo's cultivation fee, but also netted nearly 40 million euros, which can be said to be a "European black store" of the true heritage.
After joining Real Madrid, Militão, who wears the No. 3 jersey, naturally started as a center back, but with the presence of two top center backs in Ramos and Varane, he was only able to play as a substitute or a rotational player or when the duo were injured.
Militão made 15 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid in 2019-20, including 10 starts, and 14 La Liga appearances in 2020-21, including 13 starts. The stats show that he is not a regular starter. But things changed after injuries to Ramos and Varane.
From the 29th to the final round of the 2020-21 La Liga season, Militão made 13 starts for Real Madrid in La Liga and the Champions League, performing at the level of Ramos. In those 13 games, Real Madrid won 7, drew 5 and lost 1, losing only once.
In April, Militão became the mainstay of Real Madrid, and in the absence of Ramos and Varane, he showed amazing strength, beating Nacho, Casemiro, Courtois and Benzema to be awarded Real Madrid's Player of the Month for April.
It is due to the Brazilian defender's excellent performances that Real Madrid have become more open to the return of Ramos and Varane.
Militão also performed well during the Copa America, scoring his first goal for the national team. Former Thiago Silva said, "I believe that with the return of Ramos, Militão will be one of the pillar players of Real Madrid."
Marca noted that in his second season with Real Madrid, Militang's life has been turned upside down, not only regaining his confidence, but also winning the trust of Real Madrid. After the return of Ramos, he will become the new leader of the defense of Real Madrid.
Perhaps because good things are close, Militão broke up with his ex-girlfriend Larrisa during the Copa America.
But according to Donbalonrosa, the Real Madrid defender now has a new girlfriend named Karoline Lima.
In the two years since joining Real Madrid, Militão has dated four girlfriends.
The girlfriend of 2019 is named Tiffany Alvares.
2020's girlfriend's name is Alicia Gomes Oliveira.
