Eder Militao has vowed to give his all to make history with Real Madrid following his arrival from Porto.

Madrid confirmed in March an agreement was in place to sign Militao after reportedly triggering his €50million release clause.

Capable of playing at centre-back or right-back, Militao is expected to immediately challenge for a regular spot in Madrid’s back four.


Militao was the first signing of head coach Zinedine Zidane’s second spell and he has since been joined in making the switch to the Spanish capital by Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy.


LUCAS HERNANDEZ (CB/LB) [Atletico Madrid > Bayern Munchen] €80m

Bayern Munich have agreed a deal with Atletico Madrid to sign defender Lucas Hernandez for €80m, with the Frenchman set to join the club on 1 July.

Lucas has been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena for several months, and Bayern have now put an end to the speculation by confirming the deal.

Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic revealed he was delighted to sign the World Cup winner, adding: "I am very happy that in Lucas Hernandez we have been able to sign one of the best defensive players in the world and a world champion. 


"Lucas can be used both in central defence and as a left-back. In addition, Lucas will continue our tradition of outstanding French players and will strengthen our team."

Manchester United have completed the signing of Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka after agreeing a deal worth £50million

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer identified Wan-Bissaka as a priority transfer target following the departure of club captain Antonio Valencia at the end of last season, while he is said to harbour doubts over Diogo Dalot’s readiness to take over as United’s first-choice right-back.

Wan-Bissaka is set for an enormous pay rise, meanwhile, having agreed a long-term deal worth £80,000-a-week and he becomes United’s second signing of the summer transfer window following Daniel James’ arrival from Swansea earlier this month.


FERLAND MENDY (LB) [ Lyon > Real Madrid ] €48m

Manchester City say Spain midfielder Rodri is a "perfect fit" for the team after moving from Atletico Madrid for a club record £62.8m.

 Rodri, 23, joins on a five-year deal and is City boss Pep Guardiola's second signing of the summer after defender Angelino rejoined from PSV Eindhoven.

"Rodri has proven himself as a hugely talented, young midfielder," said director of football Txiki Begiristain.

Rodri will wear the number 16 for City, the same number worn by Sergio Aguero when he first moved to the Etihad from Atletico.

Tanguy Ndombele has completed his medical and signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur in a club-record deal that will be seen as a major statement of intent by last season’s Champions League finalists. 

Tottenham have agreed an initial fee of around £55 million with Lyon, who could receive another £9m in add-ons. The deal comfortably surpasses the £42m that Tottenham paid Ajax for Davinson Sanchez in 2017.


The 22 years old is a dynamic central midfielder who fills the gap left by Moussa Dembele after the Belgian moved to China in January. He has signed a six-year contract with Tottenham.


JOAO FELIX (RW) [ Benfica > Atletico Madrid ] €126m

Atletico Madrid have signed 19-year-old striker João Felix from Benfica for €126m (£112.9m), making him the fourth most expensive player of all time.

Both clubs announced the deal, with the Spanish La Liga team saying they were taking him on a seven-year contract and Portugal’s Benfica confirming the amount of the transaction.

Portugal international Felix made his first-team debut for Benfica last season, helping the Lisbon side win the Portuguese league title with 15 goals and seven assists in 21 starts.


He is the fourth most expensive signing of all time after Neymar, who cost €222m when he switched to Paris St Germain in 2017, Kylian Mbappé and Philippe Coutinho.

EDEN HAZARD (LW) [ Chelsea > Real Madrid ] €100m

Eden Hazard finally sealed his dream move to Real Madrid this summer - and he's been backed to deliver success for the Spanish giants.

Hazard has signed a five-year contract to join Real in a deal that could rise as high as £130million once all bonus payments come into play.

The flat fee will hit £100m, with Chelsea happy to allow Hazard his big switch for that price given he had just one year left on his Stamford Bridge deal.


Hazard, who arrived at Stamford Bridge from Lille in 2012, leaves Chelsea having bagged six major trophies in seven years, with 110 goals in 352 appearances.


LUKA JOVIC (CF) [ Eintracht Frankfurt > Real Madrid ] €60m

Luka Jovic arrives on a six-year deal and moves from Eintracht Frankfurt, where he played on loan from Benfica last season before the German side acquired his rights for six million euros.

His latest transfer to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu is worth around 60m euros and 30 percent of the fee being paid by Real Madrid will go to Benfica as well.

Although just 21 years of age, he took Germany and Europe by storm last season with 27 goals and seven assists.

Many other clubs were interested, but Real Madrid moved ahead of the pack.

He is a goalscorer who can help out Karim Benzema, as he is a great finisher and is also great in the air even if he's not especially tall at 1.81 metres.


With Eder Militao and Rodrygo already signed and Eden Hazard and Ferland Mendy on the way, Real Madrid's summer has started well.
