Sergio Ramos and 4 Defenders Real Madrid Could Sign to Replace Injured Militao

• Eder Militao tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) against Athletic Club
• Militao joins Courtois on the treatment table at the La Liga giants
• Real Madrid are on the look to replace the defender

Real Madrid have been grappling with a string of injuries as they approach the upcoming season. The team's medical staff has been under constant pressure, dealing with numerous injuries during both the preseason and the regular season.

The team recently suffered a double blow with significant consequences. Within a short span of time, both Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao sustained severe knee ligament injuries

While Real Madrid may have found a replacement for the former in Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga, the quest for a replacement for Militao continues. In this article, Sports Brief examines five potential options that Los Blancos could consider in their search for a suitable successor for the Brazilian defender.

Aymeric Laporte

The Spanish international could come in handy for Real Madrid given his wealth of experience at Athletic Club and him being obviously surplus to requirements at Manchester City.

Laporte found playing hard to come by last season with the defender per reports from infogol starting only 22 of Manchester City’s entire fixtures. With the arrival of Josko Gvardiol, these numbers are expected to dwindle and a move to the Bernabeu may just be the perfect way out for the defender. However,it should be noted that the 29-year-old defender is left-footed just like David Alaba and Nacho Fernandez.

Benjamin Pavard

According to reports from Goal, the versatile World Cup winner has not held back his desire to leave the Allianz Arena, despite being an integral part of the squad being built by Coach Thomas Tuchel.

Pavard, who remains linked with Manchester United, could reconsider his options given the void created by the injury to Militao in any case Real Madrid comes knocking.

Antonio Silva

Definitely one for the future, the 19-year-old Portuguese international has grown to become a mainstay in the heart of the Benfica defence.

The Rolls Royce teenage defender will without a doubt cost Real Madrid a fortune, however, judging by the club’s recent trend of signing youngsters, one cannot pass over the chance of Los Blancos signing the defender.

Thiago Silva

Though the Brazilian is visibly settled at Chelsea, only a few have the ability to resist a call from Real Madrid. The 39-year-old centre-back could be presented with an opportunity to play for the biggest club in the world at the tail end of his career, a chance which he may not pass up.

Irrespective of his age, we are sure the Blues are unlikely to part ways with such an invaluable leader and stellar performer.

Sergio Ramos

The former Real Madrid captain remains without a club after opting to extend his stay at Paris Saint Germain.

Real Madrid signs Chelsea's Kepa

Sports Brief earlier reported Real Madrid have completed the signing of Chelsea’s goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The 28-year-old signs for Los Blancos on a one-year loan deal without an obligation to buy. Kepa would have to battle things out for the number 1 shirt at Real Madrid with Andriy Lunin.
