The latest update on Éder Militao brings a familiar face's signing closer to the Bernabéu

The injury ordeal at Real Madrid hasn't stopped despite the medical efforts made this season. The white defenders keep suffering physical problems that seriously affect the stability of the defensive system. In this regard, Éder Militao is once again in the spotlight after suffering another injury that will keep him off the field for three to four months.

This situation makes Xabi Alonso's job even more difficult, as he keeps trying to build a competitive defense with very limited resources. Currently, in addition to Éder Militao, Alaba, Carvajal, Mendy, Trent, and Huijsen are also unavailable. In fact, the situation is so extreme that Real Madrid will face tonight's match against Manchester City with Asencio as the only natural center-back available.

Éder Militao changes Real Madrid's plans for January

Éder Militao's absence is especially significant because he had been the team's best defender by a wide margin. His strength, anticipation, and leadership had raised Real Madrid's solidity during the most demanding competitive moments. Now the team loses its most reliable player at a decisive point in the schedule.

The injury suffered against Celta leaves Real Madrid shorthanded for months and forces the club to reconsider important decisions. Huijsen and Rüdiger alternate great performances with worrying mistakes that create constant insecurity. Alaba still has no clear return date, and his situation worsens the club's sports planning.

Real Madrid's leadership doesn't usually make hasty decisions in the winter transfer window, but this time the pressure exceeds any precedent. Without Éder Militao until April, the board understands that signing a center-back in January is a priority to compete properly. Florentino Pérez knows that failing to act could compromise the team's overall performance.

The latest on Éder Militao brings the signing of a familiar face closer to Bernabéu: Sergio Ramos

Among the options the club is considering, there's a name that generates enormous consensus among Madridist fans. Sergio Ramos  has just announced that  he's leaving Rayados de Monterrey and is now free to negotiate his professional future. At 39 years old, he's not the ideal option, but his emotional impact could prove decisive for Real Madrid.

Beyond his sporting performance, Sergio Ramos would bring leadership, authority, and a positive influence to Real Madrid's locker room. Florentino knows his competitive character perfectly and his ability to face difficult situations with absolute determination. His presence would be an important emotional boost for a group that needs stability.

However, for now, this information is just a rumor. The only sure thing is that Sergio Ramos will leave Mexico in the coming days and that Real Madrid needs to strengthen their defense urgently. One last dance from the center-back from Camas at Bernabéu could be the boost the white team needs.
