The Reason Real Madrid Hesitates to Sign Huijsen Isn't Because of Asencio

The white team has high hopes placed on Militao's recovery and will wait to make signings

Real Madrid Is Clear That Éder Militão Is a Key Piece for Their Future. The Brazilian center-back, who has been a pillar in the defense, returns to training after overcoming his severe anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Militão, 27 years old, remains an essential part of the project, and the club has full confidence in his recovery.

Militão's Recovery

On March 25, Militão returned to initial training on the field after a long recovery.

The injury to his right knee left his future in suspense. But his determination and physical work have put him on the path to a full recovery. At Real Madrid, they trust that his return will be successful and that he will return to his highest level.

The club is not considering Militão's departure, despite rumors about the signing of Dean Huijsen. The confidence in the Brazilian center-back is total.

His talent and ability to lead the defense are undeniable, and Real Madrid is determined to have him as part of the team next season.

Evaluating His Role in the Future

Although Militão's recovery is progressing positively, Real Madrid wants to ensure that he is 100% before defining his role in the team.

The club will closely monitor his rehabilitation process and, if all goes well, Militão will be an important part of the defense in the 2025-2026 season.

However, if his knee doesn't respond as expected, he could have a more limited role or even become a backup option.

Huijsen's Situation

The doubt about the signing of Dean Huijsen is related to Militao and the quality of his recovery. This is because the future center-back pairing could be Asencio alongside Militao.

Real Madrid has Militão as a priority for the future, and the club is waiting for more details on the evolution of his injury before making additional decisions about the transfer market.

Thus, Real Madrid continues to evaluate the situation of their defenders for the next season, without haste but with an eye on the return of their starter.
