Casillas: Brazil is an extraordinary reinforcement for Real Madrid

Eder Militao will be an extraordinary boost for Real Madrid, according to former Los Blancos goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Madrid’s royal club announced the signing of 21-year-old defender on March 14th for 50m euros, while the transfer will be formalized on July 1st.

Militao signed with Porto in August 2018 but goalkeeper Casillas no doubt that his teammate will succeed in his former club. “It’s a fantastic blow to Real Madrid,” Casillas told reporters. “They’ve got a very good player, with a great future. I am confident that Militao will succeed in Real Madrid.”

However, having no doubt about Brazilian’s ability to play at the highest level, Casillas warned white fans to have patience as the youth needed a little time to adapt to a new league: “Porto played for me when he was young and Militao showed a great personality.

He is very noble and wants to do things properly. I’m a little scared of adapting it, because in Spain it’s different. I always remind them that when they arrive in Madrid, they will understand what this means. ”

Militao has made 34 appearances for Porto in all races this season. He will have another opportunity to show himself when facing the Premier League giants, Liverpool, in the Champions League quarter-finals in April.
