Manchester City are planning a bid for Eduardo Camavinga, with a Spanish report revealing Real Madrid’s stance on selling the midfielder.
Pep Guardiola’s side are having a hugely disappointing campaign which could end up in Man City not qualifying for the Champions League. While the Cityzens are still in the FA Cup, they got knocked out of the Champions League by Madrid and will have to watch on as Premier League rivals Liverpool and Newcastle United contest the final of the Carabao Cup this weekend.
Man City, though, plan to come back stronger next season, and it seems that manager Guardiola believes that signing a Madrid superstar would help in that quest.
Real Madrid Confidential has reported Man City are “willing to make a significant offer” for Camavinga in the summer transfer window.
The defending Premier League champions view the 22-year-old French superstar “as a key piece for their future”.
The Cityzens were impressed with how Camavinga played against them in the Champions League this season.
Man City manager Guardiola has made the signing of the left-footed silky Madrid midfielder “a priority”, with the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss viewing him as an “ideal player” in midfield.
Real Madrid Confidential has noted that Camavinga’s representation agency, CAA Stellar, has a good relationship with Man City.
CAA Stellar facilitated the signing of Omar Marmoush for Man City from Eintracht Frankfurt in the January transfer window.
Man City’s Premier League rivals, Manchester United, have also been recently linked with Camavinga.

Real Madrid stance on Eduardo Camavinga future
Camavinga is one of the best young midfielders in Europe and has already been a huge success at Madrid.
Since arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu from Rennes in the summer of 2021, the 22-year-old has won LaLiga twice and the Champions League on two occasions.
The midfielder has scored three goals and given nine assists in 172 matches in all competitions for Los Blancos.
Camavinga has also demonstrated his versatility by playing as a left-back when needed.
According to Real Madrid Confidential, Madrid have “no intention of selling” the 2022 World Cup runner-up with France.
However, “an irresistible offer” offer from Man City could change Madrid’s stance, but a final decision will be made by Los Blancos and Camavinga himself.
