Eduardo Camavinga is one of the best midfielders in Europe and the prospect of him donning a Manchester City shirt would be music to ears of the Etihad Stadium.
Camavinga is Pep Guardiola’s dream signing as he views the Real Madrid midfielder as a prime summer target and the perfect successor to ageing players such as Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan.
Aged just 22, the French international is the Los Blancos’ present and their future. Since signing for Real Madrid in 2021, Camavinga has been an absolute revelation and proved his worth in multiple positions as well — from defensive midfield to a more advanced role and even as a makeshift left-back.
Manchester City might be in serious need of reinforcements in midfield as well, with Gundogan interested in signing for Galatarasay. Bernardo’s contract situation is uncertain as well as it is handled on a season-by-season basis due to there always been question marks over his future ever summer.

Man City have “strong ties” with Eduardo Camavinga’s agents
Camavinga has the quality, age and experience to be one of the signings of the summer if Manchester City manage to wrap up a move for him.
However, whether Real Madrid will be willing to sell one of their most important players to another European rival remains up in the air.

Furthermore, the agency only recently helped their client, Omar Marmoush make a move to City.
However, Manchester City are one of the many clubs interested in Camavinga, who is “on the list” for them.
The two-time Champions League winner, who is contracted to Real Madrid until 2029 is yet to decide if he wishes to end his adventure in the Spanish capital.

EDUARDO CAMAVINGA STATS VS MAN CITY
KEY PASSES 1
DUELS WON 5/11
TACKLES 2
DRIBBLED PAST 2
ACCURATE PASSES 42/43 (98%)
Camavinga played a key pass, misplaced one of his 42 attempted passes, won five out of his 11 duels and two tackles against Manchester City. But the decorated midfielder was dribbled past two times during the game. Camavinga was not at his brilliant best, as the two players who stole the show in midfield were match-winner Jude Bellingham and John Stones.
But even so, the prospect of signing such a technically and physically gifted prospect who has as much pedigree at club and international level as the former Rennes starlet seems to be entincing Manchester City and justifiably so.
