Brazilian centre-back Eder Militao extends his contract with Real Madrid until the summer of 2028.

Real Madrid have announced that Eder Militao has signed a new contract at Bernabeu, with the centre-back's terms now due to run until the end of the 2027-28 campaign.

The 26-year-old has made 143 appearances for Los Blancos since arriving from Porto in 2019, scoring 11 goals and registering five assists in the process.

Militao was not a regular in either of his first two seasons at Bernabeu, but he became first choice at the start of the 2021-22 campaign and has impressed for the Spanish giants in their last two seasons.

The Brazil international has been restricted to just one appearance this season, though, as he picked up a serious knee injury during the team's La Liga opener against Athletic Bilbao back in August.

At the time, there were fears that the ACL injury would keep him out for the remainder of the season, but he has stepped up his recovery in recent weeks and is set to play a part before the end of the campaign.

Real Madrid have now announced that Militao's future has been secured, with the defender's new contract at Bernabeu due to run until June 2028.

"Real Madrid C. F. and Eder Militao have agreed to extend they player's contract with the club until 30 June 2028," read a statement on the capital outfit's official website.

"Militao joined Real Madrid in 2019, aged 21, and in his five seasons wearing our jersey he's become one of the best centre-backs in the world."

The Brazilian has won two La Liga titles during his time at Real Madrid, in addition to the Copa del Rey, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and two Spanish Super Cups.

However, Militao missed out on lifting the Spanish Super Cup this season due to his injury.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Atletico Madrid last week, but they are chasing success in two more competitions this season in the shape of La Liga and the Champions League.

Los Blancos recorded a controversial comeback win over Almeria in La Liga on Sunday, with the result leaving them second in the table, one point behind leaders Girona, who have played a game more.

Real Madrid will play another four times in La Liga, including a home game against Girona on February 10, before heading to RB Leipzig for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash on February 13.
