Madrid delays academy sales after Militao injury

Published April 29, 2026 · Updated April 29, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Eder Militao's long-term injury has forced Real Madrid to reassess their defensive plans, putting academy player sales on hold and potentially accelerating Jacobo Ramon's return.

According to MARCA, Militao's injury has significantly altered Real Madrid's defensive strategy. The club had planned for Militao and Dean Huijsen to be key pillars, with Antonio Rudiger set for renewal and David Alaba not expected to continue beyond his contract. wlop.pl

With Militao's recovery timeline and future performance uncertain, Real Madrid is putting the potential sale of Raul Asencio on hold and may delay departures of academy players like Joan Martínez, Diego Aguado, and Victor Valdepenas. Additionally, the club is considering bringing Jacobo Ramon back from Como this summer instead of waiting until 2027, as originally planned, to provide short-term defensive reinforcement.
