Chelsea are reportedly ready for negotiations with Eder Militao for the star’s potential move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Marca claims Real Madrid’s Brazilian defender has emerged as a target for Thomas Tuchel.

And, the west London club have requested a meeting and this will take place in the near future.

Militao is open to leaving the Bernabeu as he eyes a new challenge. But there are reports in Spain that Real Madrid want to renew Militão’s contract [which ends in 2025] and he wants to renew with the Spanish giants.

Meanwhile, there have been no conversations yet but talks are expected to be held over the coming months

And Chelsea could need at least one new centre-back with Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta all out of contract this summer.
