Real Madrid are open to allowing clubs to take out-of-favour star Eder Militao off their hands on a six-month loan, with the option to buy come the season end, according to Duncan Castles (via HITC).

“One player who has been mentioned is Eder Militao, the centre-back at Real Madrid who is out of favour there,” the journalist told Transfer Window Podcast.



The 22-year-old has been previously linked with Liverpool, with it being speculated that the Spanish outfit would allow the Brazilian to leave if they managed to secure the services of Bayern’s David Alaba.



A loan deal would allow the German the opportunity to provide cover for the sidelined Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, without having to commit to a purchase – a considerable advantage in today’s uncertain climate.



“Madrid are trying to offload the player, they want ideally to sell.

Should the stint be a success for Militao, £44.5m, while somewhat hefty, would hardly be a horrific price to pay for a young, highly-talented defender who could stay at Anfield for potentially a decade or more.

Like we’ve mentioned, it’s not an opportunity we reckon Klopp will take advantage of, but it would offer the former Dortmund man an easy way out of his current dilemma.
