Manchester City will reportedly look to sign 22-year-old French international Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Eduardo Camavinga is the subject of interest from Manchester City. The Premier League champions are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder heading into the summer transfer window. So, the Real Madrid prospect has emerged as a viable target, and the 24-cap French international might cost around €60-70 million.
Eduardo Camavinga and his career so far
Eduardo Camavinga has established himself as one of the best young midfielders in the world since breaking out at Stade Rennais a few years ago. A native of Cabinda, the youngster spent his formative years in France, starting his youth career at Drapeau-Fougères before graduating from the academy at Stade Rennais.
The 22-year-old has been with Real Madrid since August 2021, with Los Blancos beating stiff competition to secure his services three and a half years ago. Camavinga has turned out over 150 times thus far for the reigning La Liga champions while chipping in with three goals and nine assists.
Meanwhile, Camavinga’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the 24-cap French international, with Manchester City among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Manchester City’s interest in Eduardo Camavinga is understandable. The reigning Premier League champions are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder heading into the summer transfer window. While Manchester City bolstered the midfield unit this past winter by signing Nico Gonzalez from FC Porto, several midfielders face an uncertain future at the Etihad.
Manchester City might part ways with Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovacic, and Kalvin Phillips in the summer transfer window. So, they should pursue a top-class midfielder in the coming months, with Camavinga emerging as a viable target.
The 22-year-old Frenchman will not come cheap, with Fichajes estimating Real Madrid’s asking price for the youngster at around €60-70 million. With Camavinga yet to become an undisputed first-choice starter for Real Madrid, moving to Manchester City might be ideal for the 24-cap French international.
