A number of Liverpool fans have been calling for the Reds to sign Eder Militao on loan this month.
Speaking on The Transfer Window podcast [via HITC], journalist Duncan Castles claimed that Real Madrid are willing to let the centre-back leave temporarily until the end of the season, saying:
One player who has been mentioned is Eder Militao, the centre-back at Real Madrid who is out of favour there.
Madrid are trying to offload the player, they want ideally to sell. I’m told their asking price is €50 million (£44.5m), but there is the option there of getting Militao on a six-month loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Liverpool have suffered a crisis at the back in 2020/21, with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez both suffering serious knee injuries which will likely keep them out for the rest of the season.
Not only that, but Joel Matip has continued to be an injury-plagued figure, finding himself in and out of the Reds’ team. It has left auxiliary centre-back Fabinho as the only strong available option, leading to calls for a new signing to be made in January.
Militao’s reported availability could alert Jurgen Klopp – the Brazilian has been linked with a move to Anfield in the past – although the manager has hinted that no business will be done this month.
These Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to talk up the idea of signing the 22-year-old.
