Liverpool should look to revamp their midfield this summer after a dreadful season, and Eduardo Camavinga is emerging as a realistic option.
The Reds have not made a midfield signing for three years now, and it has become clear over the course of the campaign that that now needs to change.
As Rousing The Kop exclusively revealed in October, Liverpool have been tracking Camavinga’s situation at Real Madrid. And as the season heads towards its conclusion, Spanish outlet Sport have confirmed that the 23-year-old could be available for sale.

Spanish press confirm Camavinga can leave Real Madrid
Though some fans may be sceptical of a move to sign a Real Madrid cast-off, it is clear that Camavinga would upgrade Liverpool’s midfield considerably.
And according to Sport, the Frenchman will be sold this summer if he requests to leave the club.
They claim that there is interest in Camavinga from the Premier League, as well as PSG, and with Madrid having some ‘liquidity problems’ and needing to balance the books at the end of the season, a sale will be entertained.
A request to depart will seemingly need to come from the player himself, but if he pushes to leave, Los Blancos will reportedly not stand in his way.

After the relationship soured over the Kylian Mbappe saga, it’s claimed that Madrid would prefer not to do business with PSG, and would demand more money to sell Camavinga back to his homeland.
With a Premier League move more probable, Madrid would still reportedly be looking for around £69m to sell the France international.
Camavinga to Liverpool looks perfect
Although Madrid’s willingness to sell Camavinga is somewhat form related, it is still easy to see the former Rennes man reviving his career elsewhere.
There are echoes of Ryan Gravenberch’s situation at Bayern Munich before joining Liverpool, and the pair could form an elite duo for the Reds.

The cost is high for a player who is seemingly not performing, and that could prove prohibitive especially if Liverpool do not qualify for next season’s Champions League, but it is arguable that they will also not find better value on the market this summer.
Though things have turned slightly sour for him in the Spanish capital, Camavinga is still a world-class midfielder.
Other clubs potentially turned their nose up at Gravenberch for similar reasons while he was on the market in 2023, and they have since regretted that in a big way. Liverpool should learn from that and move for Camavinga while they can.
With the Madrid man set to be available and Liverpool needing to beef up their midfield, things look like they could be lining up for a perfect solution.
