Vinicius Junior's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent months, as it is believed that teams from Saudi Arabia are prepared to offer him an exorbitant salary in exchange for his transfer to their top-tier league.
Vinicius has been rumored to be eligible for a salary of approximately £300 million annually if he relocates to Saudi Arabia.
However, Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti dismissed the speculation regarding his departure before the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
"We have assembled a squad, and additional talented players have joined us." The Saudi Pro League is not a concern; we possess significant talent.
I am confident that we can accomplish remarkable feats.
Vinicius? There is no such entity. When asked whether he was concerned about the rumors surrounding the Brazilian sensation, Ancelotti responded, "It is market speculation."
Militao is also emerging as a target for teams in Saudi Arabia's top division, according to Fichajes. Vinicius is not the only Real Madrid player being targeted.
The report asserts that senior division members will exert "every effort" to persuade Militao to depart Real Madrid soon.
After he arrived in 2019, the 26-year-old struggled to make an impression on Real Madrid. However, he went on to have exceptional seasons in 2021-22 and 2022-23 for the Capital Titans.
Last season, Militao was limited to 13 appearances across all competitions due to a severe knee injury. However, on Wednesday night, he performed at his peak during the UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta BC.
The Brazilian defender has appeared for Real Madrid 156 times, contributing five assists and netting 11 goals. His contract has an additional four years remaining.
Should Real Madrid contemplate the sale of Militao?
Money is a powerful force in football, and Real Madrid would be in a precarious position if they received a legitimate offer for Militao. However, Los Blancos must only halt their pursuit of the player if a preposterous offer is submitted.
David Alaba has been sidelined since December due to a severe knee injury, and his long-term prognosis is uncertain. Additionally, Nacho departed the club on a free transfer earlier this summer.
Antonio Rudiger is expected to be a critical player for Real Madrid this season. However, the capital giants need to improve their defense and keep a player of Militao's caliber.
It is anticipated that a new center-back will be recruited next summer, and Los Blancos is presently observing three young players in that position.
Nevertheless, Militao should be considered an indisputable member of the Real Madrid squad, and it would be a surprise if he decided to depart from one of the most prestigious teams in European football at this juncture.
