As time goes by, the chance of Real Madrid selling Militao goes up. He is not one of Zidane's favourites, he would free up a non-EU spot and Tottenham want him. He cost the club 50 million euros and his value has kept on dropping.
Proof of that is that, currently, his market value is 28.9 million, a lot less than the price the Spanish club paid for him. He is not playing regularly and if they sell him or send him out on loan, 'Los Blancos' would sign another footballer from outside Europe.
Stats do not lie. Despite the fact he played in the game at Betis on matchday 27, he missed the previous five matches he was called up for. When the competition resumes, he will probably play against City in the Champions League because Ramos is suspended.
That is the first aspect in his favour: if he shines in the Champions League, he could turn things around. The second thing is that, if there is a sort of pre-season before football resumes, he will have time to impress his boss in training.
