Liverpool have been given encouragement in their pursuit of Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, with reports suggesting manager Jose Mourinho is willing to allow the player to leave the Santiago Bernabéu this summer. The news comes as Liverpool, now managed by Andoni Iraola, seek midfield reinforcements ahead of the new season.
Initial interest from Liverpool surfaced on May 15th, with sources indicating Manchester United also hold an interest in the France international. Camavinga has won two LaLiga titles and two Champions League trophies during his time in Madrid, establishing himself as a capable player despite recent injury concerns. Liverpool’s camp have reportedly been in contact with Camavinga’s representatives, exploring the possibility of a transfer.
Recent reports from Sport, a Spanish publication, indicate that Chelsea and Juventus have also made enquiries regarding Camavinga’s availability. While the player is under contract with Real Madrid until 2029 and possesses a substantial release clause of €1 billion, his market value is believed to have decreased by €50 million, currently standing at €50 million (approximately £43.1m, $57.2m).
According to The Athletic, Mourinho is open to offers for the 23-year-old as Madrid prioritize a move for Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez. Camavinga’s recent injury problems and omission from the France squad for the 2026 World Cup have contributed to this shift in stance. However, sources close to Camavinga suggest the player is hesitant about a departure.
TEAMtalk understands that Madrid informed Camavinga of their willingness to consider offers prior to Mourinho’s appointment. The player’s camp are actively exploring options, with Camavinga reportedly seeking a more prominent role after seeing his playing time reduced this season. He was a key figure for France during the 2022 World Cup, but has since fallen down the pecking order, leading to a belief that a fresh challenge is necessary. A move to Liverpool could offer Camavinga the consistent first-team football he desires, while bolstering Iraola’s midfield options.
