Manchester United Eyeing Sensational Move for Real Madrid Star Eduardo Camavinga
Manchester United are reportedly considering a sensational move to secure the services of Real Madrid’s talented midfielder, Eduardo Camavinga. The Red Devils believe that Camavinga’s style perfectly aligns with the tactics implemented by their manager, Erik ten Hag, and they are willing to make a substantial financial commitment to bring him to Old Trafford.
According to a report published in El Nacional, Manchester United is prepared to launch an audacious bid worth €150 million in order to acquire Camavinga’s services during the upcoming summer transfer window. The club views the French midfielder as the missing piece in their squad and aims to entice him away from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Insiders claim that Real Madrid President, Florentino Perez, is well aware of the potential offer and has already engaged in discussions with the club’s board regarding the matter. However, this impending move is likely to leave manager Carlo Ancelotti dissatisfied. Ancelotti had previously declared Camavinga, alongside Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, as indispensable members of his squad. He was quoted by Marca as stating:
“He is untouchable, like Kroos and Modric.”
Throughout the season, Camavinga featured in 37 matches in La Liga, demonstrating his importance to Ancelotti’s plans. Nevertheless, the young Frenchman was often deployed in a position that diverged from his preferred role. Due to injuries sustained by David Alaba and Ferland Mendy, Ancelotti utilized Camavinga as a left-back for 17 matches in the campaign.
Regarding the player’s adaptability to his new position, Ancelotti commented to GOAL:
“He is taking advantage of the time he has played as a full-back to improve his boundaries. He is very young and he has to mature his experience and his tactical knowledge. Technically, he has nothing to learn and, physically, he has the engine of a Ferrari, not like a (Fiat) 500.”
“He has surprised us all as a left-back. I’m liking him a lot. Alaba returns on Sunday, we’ll see. The team suffers less behind because he works well. He has played very little in this position, but he creates a lot of danger in the opposite field. And he also has defensive work. He doesn’t like it, but we do.”
Despite his reservations about the change in position, Camavinga remains committed to aiding the team in any way possible. In an interview with AS, he stated:
“The most important thing is to help the team, and today I did that again. But no, it still isn’t my position.”
Real Madrid acquired Camavinga from Rennes for a fee of €40 million in 2021. Since joining the club, he has made a significant impact, scoring 99 goals and providing two goals and four assists. Get all the latest updates from the Premier League only on Nextbet Sports.
