Real Madrid set to lose defensive pair following arrival of Militão | OneFootball

Nacho Fernández and Jesus Vallejo are reportedly set to leave Real Madrid this summer following the arrival of Eder Militão.

Militão will join Los Blancos from Porto after they triggered his €50m release clause, making him the first new addition under Zinedine Zidane.

According to AS, both players will be directly affected by the Brazilian’s arrival who can play as a central defender and right-back.

Vallejo is still considered an exciting prospect but is likely to depart on loan after an injury-hit season in the Spanish capital.

Nacho, however, is 29 and could step down in search of regular football as he approaches the latter stages of his career.

The report claims that Zidane will assess his squad over the coming weeks but is already considering Militão as a key part of his plans.
