Manchester United are turning their attention to Real Madrid’s midfield maestro Eduardo Camavinga as their ‘priority target’ for next summer, according to reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes.
United’s Transfer Evolution Under INEOS
After years of wasteful spending that saw the Red Devils tumble from Premier League giants to mid-table battlers, INEOS have genuinely transformed United’s transfer strategy. Last summer’s arrivals of Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, and Noussair Mazraoui have been absolute revelations at Old Trafford.
While Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee are still finding their rhythm in English football, the club’s recent window was even more impressive. Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Senne Lammens have all slotted seamlessly into Ruben Amorim’s setup, giving United genuine quality across the pitch.
Why Camavinga Makes Perfect Sense
With the attacking department sorted, United’s hierarchy are now laser-focused on strengthening the engine room. Camavinga fits the bill perfectly. The 22-year-old French international offers incredible versatility – comfortable in a double pivot, effective as a box-to-box midfielder, and even capable of deputising at left-back when required.
His technical ability is outstanding. Quick, skilful, and defensively astute, Camavinga can glide past challenges in congested areas whilst putting in the hard yards without the ball. He’s got world-class potential written all over him.
The Deal’s Details
Real Madrid aren’t desperate to sell, but they’ll listen to offers around £70m – a fee United are reportedly willing to meet. With four years remaining on his Santiago Bernabéu contract, Los Blancos hold all the cards.
The only concern? Camavinga’s injury record has been patchy recently. United’s medical team will need thorough convincing before sanctioning such a significant investment.
If Amorim can keep him fit, though, this could be the signing that transforms United’s midfield for the next decade.
