Eduardo Camavinga: “I'm very happy at Real Madrid” | Managing Madrid
Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League on Sunday as they beat West Ham 2-0, courtesy of Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, although that did not help much as other results meant they rose to only eighth place in the standings.
Arne Slot’s continuity at the job seems safe for the time being and the Reds are already planning transfer activity for the January transfer window with a defender as well as a midfielder expected to be their priority.
Rememore new hair
Caught Offside has reported that Liverpool are expected to make a January bid worth £53 million for Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga, who is viewed as a key target at Anfield, after a few impressive campaigns with the La Liga giants.
He has struggled with fitness this season but continues to be a vital part of Xabi Alonso’s plans, and with Los Blancos playing in three competitions starting from January, it remains to be seen what their stance on Camavinga’s sale is.
Liverpool unlikely to acquire Camavinga in January
Eduardo Camavinga would be a brilliant signing for Liverpool in the winter as his ability to win the ball, dribble into the final third and play progressive passes would help them do better on the transitions, where they have struggled in recent weeks.
Moreover, having won two Champions League titles, he is also experienced enough, yet at the age of 23, the French international promises to be a long-term option for the Reds but a switch to Anfield next month seems like a distant proposition.
Real Madrid are expected to hold onto Camavinga for the second half of the season because he adds much-needed depth to their squad, is a trump card off the bench and remains happy in the Spanish capital, at least for the time being.
Nonetheless, it may be worth revisiting the player’s transfer next summer, depending on how his role evolves under Xabi Alonso and if Madrid decide to add competition in midfield in the next few months.
