Two more Real Madrid players set to receive Spanish passports

Recently, news broke out that Vinicius Junior was set to receive his Spanish passport. It goes without saying that that is a huge boost for Real Madrid, as it opens up spots in their squad. And now, it appears that two more players are set to join the Brazilian winger.

As reported by ESPN, Rodrygo and Eder Militao are set to follow Vinicius Junior in receiving Spanish passports early in 2023. This opens up the possibility of Real Madrid moving to sign more top talents from Brazil and other non-European countries.

Under the current rules, Spanish clubs can only have three players from countries outside of the European Union in their first-team squad.

Thus, it goes without saying that three players in Vinicius, Militao and Rodrygo, receiving their Spanish passports, is great news for Real Madrid and opens up a lot of transfer opportunities for them in future windows.

All three of the players are important parts of Real Madrid at this point of time. There is not much to say about Vinicius. He seems to be the next global superstar of the club.

Vinicius had always had the raw potential but he put it together last season and since then, he has been unstoppable in a Real Madrid shirt, even scoring the Champions League winning goal vs Liverpool last season. And it is hard not to feel that he is only getting start, as he is in his early 20s.

On the other hand, Militao has been successful in establishing himself as a starting centre-back in this team as well although he is facing some competition from Antonio Rudiger.

And while Rodrygo might not be a regular starter yet, he is showing glimpses of his potential this season and making important contributions. Thus, this could very well turn out to be his breakout campaign, like the last one was for Vinicius.
