Arne Slot’s Liverpool are gearing up to make a €80 million move for Real Madrid midfield star Eduardo Camavinga.
Eduardo Camavinga’s future has become a big talking point as he has been relegated to a secondary role under Xabi Alonso. With the French international not starting games on a regular basis, he has started considering his future, and Liverpool are keeping a close eye on his situation.
According to a report from Fichajes, the Merseyside club are preparing a massive €80 million offer to sign the Real Madrid utility man in the upcoming winter transfer window.
After coming up the ranks at Stade Rennais and making a name for himself while playing for their first team, Camavinga joined Los Blancos in the summer of 2021. The 22-year-old midfielder has been an integral part of their first team ever since, and has helped them win two Champions League and La Liga titles.
While he had a prominent role in the team under Carlo Ancelotti, the French international seems to have gone down the pecking order under Xabi Alonso. Since returning from injury, he has only started one league game and has racked up just 141 minutes in his six outings.
His contract at the Madrid-based club runs until the summer of 2029, but his current situation has resulted in a lot of talk about his future. Liverpool are keeping a close eye on his situation.
Liverpool want Camavinga
The Reds are believed to be massive admirers of the 22-year-old, who can feature as a central midfielder, a defensive midfielder, or a left-back, and they could pounce on any opportunity to sign him.
His lack of prominence in the Real Madrid team suggests there could be a possibility to negotiate his departure. Camavinga is currently valued at €80 million, and Liverpool are believed to be preparing an offer in that region to sign him in January.
Arne Slot feels he is an ideal fit for his project, and his versatility could come in handy. Not only will it bolster their midfield, but he could also become an integral part of their project in the long run. Since the 22-year-old will only get better with time, the Reds are willing to invest in him.
However, a potential deal depends on the player’s willingness to move to the Premier League, Liverpool’s capability to meet the financial demands and convince Real Madrid to let go of one of their most talented young players.
