Real Madrid are willing to sell Eduardo Camavinga despite the midfielder's desire to remain at the club, potentially giving Manchester United a cut-price opportunity to sign the 23-year-old for £42 million.
Camavinga's Uncertain Future
The French international faces an uncertain future in the Spanish capital as Real Madrid continue to pursue a move for Rodri. Should the Manchester City midfielder join, a marquee departure from Real's midfield is expected. While Aurelien Tchouameni is United's primary target—valued at £68m—Camavinga's lower price and wages make him an enticing alternative.
Fabrizio Romano has stated that Camavinga wants to fight for his place under manager Jose Mourinho, but he may have no choice if Real sign another player in his position. The club's potential sale of Vinicius Jr to Arsenal could help finances, though they have no current plans to let him go, despite Yan Diomande joining from RB Leipzig for over £100m.
Manchester United's Midfield Search
United have already missed out on several targets this summer. Mateus Fernandes joined Tottenham for £85m, while Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans were signed for a combined £85m. United now seek a third midfield addition, with Manu Kone (AS Roma), Carlos Baleba (Brighton), and Alex Scott (Bournemouth) all linked. Bournemouth have rejected a £64m bid from Chelsea for Scott, stating he is not for sale.
Camavinga also appears likely to stay for now, but the situation could change rapidly depending on Real's transfer activity. The club's pursuit of Rodri remains a key factor, with Manchester City confirming the midfielder underwent a procedure this week. Elliot Anderson has been signed as Rodri's replacement at the Etihad.
