Real Madrid reportedly willing to sell Camavinga, with Liverpool interested

Real Madrid are reportedly open to selling midfielder Eduardo Camavinga this summer, with Liverpool emerging as a potential destination for the French international. According to a report from Spanish outlet AS, journalist Ruben Martin claims the 23-year-old has failed a "final exam" this season, and the club does not view parting ways with him negatively. This development follows earlier reports from TEAMtalk that Liverpool hold a firm interest in the player.

Liverpool's interest, according to TEAMtalk's Graeme Bailey, could potentially intertwine with Real Madrid's own pursuit of a Reds player. Sources suggested intermediaries have discussed a possible 'high-profile exchange' deal involving Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister moving to Madrid, with Camavinga potentially coming the other way. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has noted that Camavinga "loves Real Madrid" and intends to fight for his place at the Bernabeu, though he added the club could sell for a major offer.

The context for Madrid's reported stance stems from Camavinga's recent seasons, which have been hampered by injury problems. The 2025/26 campaign was seemingly viewed internally as a make-or-break year for the midfielder. A recent incident in the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, where Camavinga was sent off late in the second leg after coming on as a substitute, has been cited as a symbolic low point. His two quick yellow cards contributed to a chaotic finale where Madrid conceded twice and were eliminated.

For Liverpool, under new manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes, Camavinga represents a dynamic, young talent who could bolster their midfield options. Signed by Real Madrid from Rennes for a reported €40 million in 2021, any transfer fee would now be expected to significantly exceed that initial outlay. The potential move would mark a major statement in Slot's first transfer window at Anfield.

While the path for any deal remains complex, the emergence of reports from Spain indicating Madrid's willingness to sell adds a new layer of credibility to the speculation. Camavinga's future is now a developing story to watch as the summer window approaches, with Liverpool positioned as a keen observer and potential suitor should the situation in Madrid become untenable for the player.
