Manchester United have activated their interest in Real Madrid star this summer, with Arsenal also aware of the situation.
Premier League clubs continue to monitor midfielders who face uncertain roles under new managers. Opportunities can arise when a player is informed he will not be guaranteed regular starts. Valuations that appear reasonable relative to the market often encourage further enquiries.
French internationals with experience at the highest level remain attractive targets even when they prefer to stay put. Selling clubs sometimes authorise talks to generate funds for their own recruitment. The player’s determination to fight for his place can still block a move.

Manchester United have activated their interest in Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. The 23-year-old is valued at around £42million by the Spanish club, and United are prepared to explore a deal at that level after completing the signings of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.
Jose Mourinho has reportedly informed Camavinga that he will not have a guaranteed starting role for the 2026/27 season. The midfielder started only 23 of 43 matches last term and missed out on France’s World Cup squad as a result. Real Madrid have authorised negotiations, yet Camavinga has made clear he wants to remain at the Bernabeu and compete for a place in the squad.
Manchester United will monitor Camavinga’s involvement in Real Madrid’s pre-season friendlies before deciding whether to submit a formal offer. Michael Carrick is looking to add further depth and versatility to his midfield options. The player’s contract runs until 2029, giving Madrid a strong position if they choose to hold firm.

Real Madrid are also open to offers for defender Raul Asencio as they look to raise funds for incoming transfers. Both players have rejoined training with the intention of proving their worth. Camavinga’s preference to stay could yet frustrate United’s plans, but the contact keeps the possibility alive.
Arsenal supporters will note the activity around another Real Madrid midfielder as the window continues. Any successful move for Camavinga would strengthen a rival, while a failure to land him leaves United still searching for additional reinforcements. Further updates are expected in early August once the friendly schedule provides clearer indications of the player’s standing.
Arsenal’s hierarchy continue to assess the financial implications carefully while progressing other business. Manchester United, under their current project, see the addition as a statement signing that could accelerate their progress. The player’s representatives are understood to be open to discussions with multiple clubs.
