Apparently Liverpool are close to signing Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid, since the club president has given them the go-ahead to sell the Frenchman. The 23-year-old midfielder is losing his place in the starting line-up due to rotation and competition from Chouameni, and the Merseysiders are preparing an €80 million offer. We should have some clarity on the big summer transfer soon.
Eduardo Camavinga’s future at Real Madrid could change a lot in the next few months. According to Topskills Sports UK, the 23-year-old French midfielder is thinking about leaving Madrid, and it looks like his new club could be Liverpool.
Camavinga’s having a tough time at Real Madrid at the moment. He was seen as a long-term investment and a versatile player who could play several positions in midfield and even on the left side of the defence, but he hasn’t had a stable role this season. Injuries, squad rotation and a tricky transition period in midfield have all led to a lack of playing time.
I’ve heard that the club isn’t too worried about the Frenchman possibly leaving. Real president Florentino Pérez isn’t making a big deal out of the situation and he does admit that the sale could be a logical part of the summer squad rebuild, if you take into account the salary structure and sporting balance. The club’s big bet on Aurélien Tchouaméni is a big part of why Real Madrid might make this decision. Madrid thinks he’s going to be a big name in midfield for years to come. With this set-up, Camavinga might end up with no clearly defined role, which will make the parties have to meet each other halfway.
At the moment, Liverpool is seen as the frontrunner to sign Camavinga. The English club has already started talking to the player’s team and is preparing an offer around €80 million. Man U and Arsenal were also interested, but Liverpool currently has the upper hand.
We should have a better idea of what’s going to happen with the Frenchman in the next few weeks. If they do, Camavinga’s transfer is going to be one of the summer’s most high-profile deals.
