Liverpool have been repeatedly linked with a certain Real Madrid midfielder, and if the reports hold any water, this could mean that the Reds’ midfield plans for the next transfer cycle are already taking shape, and there is a clear reason why. Arne Slot seeks greater control, balance, and reliability in central areas. Last season showed how thin the margins can be when injuries hit or form drops. Liverpool competed, but the lack of consistent availability in midfield was costly at key moments.
Across Europe, several elite clubs are facing the same problem. Real Madrid are one of them. Their midfield remains powerful and athletic, but questions keep coming up about rhythm, creativity, and durability. Since Toni Kroos retired, Madrid have struggled to replace his control of games. They have energy, but not always calm. They have quality, but not always continuity.
This is where Liverpool’s interest becomes relevant. When a top club starts questioning its midfield structure, rivals pay attention. Liverpool have tracked elite midfielders before, but timing matters. A player can be world-class, yet circumstances decide everything. Fitness, role, and long-term planning often matter more than raw talent.
From Liverpool’s point of view, watching Madrid reassess one of their key midfielders has been impossible to ignore. The situation has been developing quietly, but the direction is now clearer.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid are now prepared to listen. Eduardo Camavinga’s future “is still undecided, but it could be decided this season.” The club has made its stance clear. This season is a test. He must show “that all his physical problems are behind him” and that he can “maintain the consistency needed to continue progressing and contributing to the team.”
If that does not happen, Madrid will act. They are “prepared to start listening to offers,” but with firm limits. They “won’t accept the first one presented to them.” Any deal “will have to be for a reasonable amount, close to 100 million euros.”
From a Liverpool perspective, this is significant. Madrid’s doubts are not about talent. They still “know he has quality and can contribute very positively to the team.” The concern is availability and long-term reliability. That opens a door.
Liverpool now know the conditions. Improve and stay, or fail and be sold. For a club planning ahead, that clarity alone is a major boost.
