Real Madrid is facing a major dilemma after the injury of Éder Militão. With the Brazilian center-back out of the field, the white directive is in full search for a substitute that reinforces their defensive line and maintains the competitive level.

The list of candidates to cover this absence is led by important figures and young talent, but negotiations won't be easy. Firstly, Virgil Van Dijk emerges as a high-profile option. The Dutchman, whose contract ends in the market, offers experience and solidity. His contract expires in June 2025, making him a good alternative for the white team.

Another possibility that generates interest among Real Madrid fans is that of an old acquaintance: Sergio Ramos. The former Madrid captain, currently without a team after finishing his contract at Sevilla FC, could bring leadership and knowledge of the club. Ramos's arrival would be a nostalgic move; his experience in European competitions makes him a more than tempting option in this moment of defensive need.

The sports management also considers future options. Jonathan Tah, the German center-back from Bayer Leverkusen, is a coveted piece in the market, with his contract expiring in June 2025. However, his situation is far from simple. Teams like Manchester United and FC Barcelona have also shown interest in the defender, complicating his potential landing in Madrid.

On the other hand, Vitor Reis, a current player at SE Palmeiras, has had great performances in the past year. With a contract until 2028 and a market value of 10 million euros, Palmeiras refers to the 85 million euros release clause for the young Brazilian.

Finally, Castello Lukeba, a promising talent from RB Leipzig, represents a fresh and rising option. At just 21 years old, his g could be a long-term bet. However, Leipzig won't be willing to let him go for less than 60 million euros, a quite high figure considering the other options Real Madrid has to strengthen its defense.
