Liverpool have emerged as early frontrunners in the race to sign Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga this summer, according to reports.
The Anfield side are gearing up for another busy transfer window after spending an unprecedented £415m on new signings before the season.
With a new midfielder potentially on the agenda, Camavinga is a player of interest to the defending Premier League champions, who have reportedly been keeping close tabs on the Frenchman this season.
The 23-year-old, who joined Real from Rennes in the summer of 2021, is under contract until the end of the 2028/29 season.

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool are among several Premier League clubs monitoring Camavinga, who could be allowed to leave Real this summer.
The 15-time Champions League winners are anticipating a major squad overhaul after the season, and Camavinga is believed to be among the players whose future could be uncertain.
Should the ‘world-class’ midfielder decide to pursue a new challenge, Real are reportedly unlikely to stand in his way, five years after welcoming him in 2021.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea are also said to be closely monitoring developments surrounding the 23-year-old, who has struggled for regular minutes in the Spanish capital this season.
Camavinga’s Injury Problems Pose Questions

Camavinga’s five years with Real have been severely disrupted by injuries that have hindered both his development and consistency.
Since the start of last season, the Frenchman has only made 23 starts in La Liga and another 10 in the Champions League.
He was left on the bench in both of Real’s victories over Manchester City in the last 16 and has started just once across their last five games in all competitions.
Injury problems have also limited his involvement with the France national team, as Camavinga has only started once for Les Bleus since the beginning of 2025.
How Camavinga Could Strengthen Liverpool

Amid Liverpool’s reported interest in Camavinga, we asked ChatGPT how the Frenchman could fit into the Reds’ midfield next season:
Box-to-box energy: Camavinga’s ability to cover ground quickly would add dynamism and support both attack and defence.
Ball progression and creativity: His composure and dribbling in tight spaces could help Liverpool transition from defence to attack more smoothly.
Defensive reinforcement: Strong tackling and interception skills would provide additional protection for the backline, especially in high-press matches.
