Tottenham are interested in signing ‘this’ Real Madrid midfielder this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs showing interest in Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga ahead of the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk via GiveMeSport, with the French international available for a fee in the region of £50 million as he seeks a new challenge away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Camavinga, described as world-class by those who have assessed his qualities closely, has been on Tottenham’s radar for some time, and the prospect of him becoming available at a relatively accessible price point for a player of his calibre has intensified that interest. The 22-year-old is understood to be keen on a move to the Premier League, which at least narrows the field of likely destinations and gives Tottenham a legitimate foothold in the race.
The obstacles, however, are significant and cannot be glossed over. Roberto De Zerbi’s side will not be competing in any European competition next season, having been eliminated from the Champions League by Atletico Madrid earlier in the campaign. For a player of Camavinga’s ambitions and quality, the absence of European football is a serious deterrent, and it places Tottenham at an immediate disadvantage against several of their domestic rivals.

Manchester United are also understood to be interested and can offer Champions League football, having secured a top-four finish. That advantage in any negotiation is substantial. Camavinga leaving Real Madrid, one of the most decorated clubs in the history of the sport, would represent a significant step down in prestige regardless of the destination, and the lure of Champions League football at least partially compensates for that transition.

The broader context of Tottenham’s summer is relevant here. A significant number of players are expected to depart, with the club not participating in European football, creating a natural moment of transition. De Zerbi will need to reshape his squad considerably, and the Lewis family’s pledge to invest meaningfully in salaries and transfers gives genuine reason to believe the rebuild will be ambitious rather than cautious.
Whether that ambition can stretch to convincing a Real Madrid midfielder to choose Tottenham over Champions League alternatives remains the central question. The interest is real. Whether it can be converted into a signing is an entirely different matter.
