Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is seeking a move to the Premier League this summer, with both Manchester United and Liverpool expressing strong interest, according to TEAMtalk. The 23-year-old has become frustrated after being omitted from Didier Deschamps’ France squad for the upcoming tournament in North America.
Camavinga was a prominent member of the French squad during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, even appearing in the final against Argentina. However, he has since fallen down the pecking order, with players like Manu Kone and Warren Zaire-Emery now preferred by Deschamps. This disappointment has reportedly strengthened Camavinga’s desire for a new challenge.
His reduced playing time at Real Madrid has also contributed to his decision, with internal discussions about his future already taking place before the France squad announcement. Camavinga’s representatives are now actively exploring potential moves for the player ahead of the new season. Real Madrid are reportedly open to a sale as they plan for further midfield reinforcements, with players like Rodri, Alexis Mac Allister, and Enzo Fernandez among those admired by the club.
Both Manchester United and Liverpool have been contacted regarding Camavinga’s availability, with both clubs identified as long-term admirers of the player. Both Premier League sides are in the market for a high-calibre central midfielder, and Camavinga fits that profile. The clubs have also previously shown interest in Camavinga’s Real Madrid teammate, Aurelien Tchouameni, but his potential availability appears less likely at this time.
Real Madrid would likely seek a fee of around £50 million for Camavinga, a figure not expected to deter potential suitors given his age, pedigree, and experience. Despite being only 23, Camavinga has already made over 300 senior appearances and earned close to 30 caps for France. His versatility, being able to play in multiple midfield positions and even at left-back, is a significant asset. Those close to the situation believe he would quickly adapt to the Premier League's demands.
While Real Madrid are not actively pushing Camavinga out, there is a growing acceptance that a departure could benefit all parties. Following his World Cup snub, Camavinga appears determined to begin a new chapter, with England emerging as the most likely destination.
