Real Madrid are closing in on the signing of Eder Militao from Porto.

The Spanish giants are desperate to strengthen their defence, given how many goals they have conceded this season.

And Militao is seen as young enough to learn from the likes of Sergio Ramos before taking on his mantle.

According to Marca, Real will sign the 21-year-old Brazilian from Porto in the summer for roughly £44 million.

It would be a blow to Manchester United, who also retain an interest in the player.
