Manchester United are weighing up a move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, with an offer around €80 million under consideration, as per Fichajes. The 22-year-old France international has been on the radar of several top clubs in recent seasons, and Arsenal were among those to monitor his situation.

United’s midfield needs greater quality and depth, and Camavinga fits the profile: press-resistant, versatile, and proven at the highest level. He has delivered for club and country across multiple positions in central areas, making him a compelling option as Ruben Amorim looks to reinforce a squad pushing to regain Champions League consistency.
However, convincing Real Madrid will be difficult. The La Liga giants are already light in midfield, and moving on a key squad figure would weaken their title and Champions League ambitions. Even if Camavinga is not the first name on the teamsheet, he remains an important piece of Carlo Ancelotti’s group.
Where Arsenal fit into the story

Arsenal have previously been linked with Camavinga and were aware of Real Madrid’s internal calculations around midfield trading. While the Gunners have since strengthened with other signings, the interest underscores why this potential transfer matters to North London: Camavinga aligns with the athletic, technically secure midfielders Mikel Arteta values.
From an Arsenal perspective, United landing Camavinga would hand a direct rival a high-ceiling midfielder entering his prime. Conversely, Real Madrid resisting a sale would keep one of Europe’s elite young talents out of the Premier League for now and maintain options for future windows should circumstances change.

Real Madrid were reportedly open to creative ideas around big-name negotiations earlier in the summer, but selling Camavinga outright would be a major call. The fee mooted, €80 million, reflects his age, pedigree, and upside. Madrid’s priority remains competing on all fronts, which strengthens the case to retain him unless the player pushes for a move.
For Manchester United, a deal at that price would represent a decisive shift of resources from other targets into the spine of the team. For Arsenal watchers, it is a reminder of how quickly the balance of power can tilt in midfield if elite operators change hands.
Talks and interest are one thing; closing an agreement is another. If United formalise an €80 million bid, Madrid’s response will shape the final weeks of the window and could ripple into the Premier League’s top-four battle.
