Manchester United has been informed of the transfer fee required to acquire Eduardo Camavinga, as a report from Spain outlines the competition that Ruben Amorim’s team will encounter for the Real Madrid midfielder.
Camavinga is regarded as one of the premier young midfielders globally, showcasing his adaptability by occasionally playing as a left-back for Madrid. Since joining Los Blancos from Rennes in 2021, the 22-year-old has secured two LaLiga titles and two Champions League trophies, contributing three goals and nine assists across 170 matches for the Spanish club.
In November 2024, Spanish media indicated that Manchester United had shown interest in signing Camavinga during the January transfer window.
The Red Devils reportedly initiated contact with the player’s representatives, with the club’s management prepared to invest significantly in the French international midfielder, who, as noted by Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti in The Athletic in April 2023, possesses “the engine of a Ferrari, not like a (Fiat) 500.”
Nevertheless, despite appreciating Manchester United’s interest, Camavinga communicated his desire to remain with the reigning Spanish and European champions, responding with a polite “No, thank you.”
A report from Spain in February suggested that Amorim continues to pursue Camavinga, highlighting that Manchester United has demonstrated “great interest” in the talented left-footed midfielder.
The report indicated that Real Madrid is willing to part with the young player this summer, and it has now come to light the amount Los Blancos would demand for him.
As per Fichajes, Madrid is prepared to sell Camavinga for €70 million (£59 million, $75.8 million) during the upcoming summer transfer window.
This season, Camavinga has faced injury challenges, raising questions about his position within the team when he returns to full fitness.
To date, the midfielder has netted one goal and provided two assists in 24 appearances across all competitions for Los Blancos this season.
Man Utd face Man City and PSG competition for Eduardo Camavinga
Manchester United may find some optimism in Real Madrid’s openness to sell Camavinga during the upcoming summer transfer window; however, securing a deal will prove challenging. This difficulty arises from the interest shown by both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in the player, as reported by Fichajes.
Paris Saint-Germain, the preeminent club in France, consistently dominates Ligue 1 and competes at a high level in the Champions League. Meanwhile, despite facing a difficult season, Manchester City has established itself as the most successful club in England in recent years, bolstered by the expertise of their world-class manager, Pep Guardiola. In contrast, Manchester United has struggled to maintain its former prominence and currently finds itself outside the running for a Champions League spot in the Premier League.
