Manchester United have submitted an offer for Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga and now have the chance to land a deal at a cut price.
Their interest arrives as they attempt to land their third midfielder of the summer. The Red Devils have already welcomed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans for less than £100m combined. In today's market, that is nothing short of excellent work from all involved.
The spending is not stopping there, though. INEOS are still after another reinforcement in the middle of the park and signing Camavinga would be the ultimate statement.

According to reports in Spain, as relayed by Sport Witness, Man United have now launched an offer to sign Camavinga from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants have set a new asking price worth just €50m (£43m), which is significantly lower than the €60m (£51m) price-tag they initially demanded.
That's not the only boost for Man United, either. Camavinga has already turned down the prospect of joining Chelsea before the Blues have even had the chance to make an offer.
That leaves just those at Old Trafford and rivals Manchester City in the race to sign the Frenchman, who could be heading for the exit door at the Bernabeu.
