Key Takeaways:
- Manchester United has shifted its transfer focus to Eduardo Camavinga, according to “Fichajes”
- The club is weighing up a potential offer nearing 80 million euros, matching Real Madrid’s valuation
- Camavinga is recovering from an ankle issue and was absent from Real Madrid’s opening fixture against Osasuna last night
United Intensifies Midfield Search
Manchester United is poised to make a surprising move this summer as the club turns its attention to Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga. With less than a fortnight remaining in the transfer window, manager Ruben Amorim is setting his sights on strengthening the midfield, and he has earmarked the 22-year-old French international as a prime candidate. Amorim, a noted admirer of Camavinga, continues to praise the midfielder’s tempo and tactical intelligence, believing he would be an ideal fit for his system at Old Trafford.
Transfer Approach and Alternatives
Although Manchester United had previously demonstrated interest in Carlos Baleba of Brighton and Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace, negotiations have stalled as neither club is willing to negotiate their departure. Consequently, United is now considering an official bid close to 80 million euros for Camavinga. This valuation aligns with Real Madrid’s own expectations, and Los Blancos are said to be prepared for negotiations only should their financial terms be met. These expectations have reportedly been communicated to interested parties via intermediaries.

| Player | Age | 2024/25 La Liga Appearances | Starts | Estimated Value (€) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eduardo Camavinga | 22 | 19 | 11 | 80,000,000 |
Injury Record and Current Status
Camavinga is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, resulting in his absence during Real Madrid’s first match of the season against Osasuna last night. Over the previous twelve months, the Frenchman has suffered five separate injuries, restricting him to only 19 La Liga appearances last season, of which he started 11.
Real Madrid’s Stance
Despite ongoing fitness setbacks, head coach Xabi Alonso still regards Camavinga as a central figure within his plans. Nevertheless, persistent injuries have raised concerns among the supporters at the Santiago Bernabéu. While Real Madrid does not actively seek to sell the player, a substantial bid in line with their 80 million euro valuation could open the door to his departure this summer.
