Eder Militao denies allegations involving Vinicius Jr. and luxury escorts

Real Madrid defender Eder Militao has officially denied allegations reported by Brazilian journalist Leo Dias, which claimed he and teammate Vinicius Jr. hired luxury escorts from Piracicaba to travel to Madrid. Militao stated on May 15, 2026, that all information attributed to him is false and lacks evidence, emphasizing his current focus on recovering from an injury. Representatives for Vinicius Jr. had previously addressed the claims, stating that the women involved were friends of the players who funded their own travel expenses. The controversy gained further public attention in Brazil when Virginia Fonseca, Vinicius Jr.'s partner, announced the end of their relationship on the same day via Instagram. Fonseca, who had attended Real Madrid's victory against Oviedo the previous night, cited a lack of meaning as the reason for the breakup. Militao remains adamant that no proof supports the claims circulating online regarding his conduct.
