Manchester United are keeping close tabs on Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, with Spanish outlet Fichajes reporting the Red Devils remain ‘very attentive’ to securing his signature this summer.
Midfield Overhaul on the Cards at Old Trafford
United are plotting a significant midfield shake-up ahead of the new season, and Camavinga has emerged as a top target. The 23-year-old Frenchman is available for around £52 million — a fee Real Madrid would consider if a formal offer lands on their desk, despite his contract running until 2029.
Madrid themselves are in a period of transition. Back-to-back trophyless seasons have prompted a squad overhaul, with Jose Mourinho closing in on the managerial role. Departures of Alaba and Carvajal, plus links away for Valverde and Tchouameni, signal a major clear-out is coming.
Why Camavinga Could Be a Smart Buy
Camavinga was once regarded as one of the most exciting young midfielders in Europe during his Stade Rennais days. At the Bernabéu, however, persistent injuries have derailed his progress and cost him his place in Didier Deschamps’ France squad for this summer’s World Cup.
A dynamic left-footed midfielder comfortable in a defensive or box-to-box role — and capable of filling in at left-back — he offers genuine versatility.
Verdict
At £52m, Camavinga represents a calculated risk with serious upside. He’s talented, still young, and a change of scenery could reignite his career. United shouldn’t hesitate — get the deal done.
