Liverpool remain in the race to play in the Champions League next season, but they will need a strong finish in the Premier League in what remains in 2025/26, as well as some investment, especially in midfield over the summer.
Mark Brus reported this that the Reds are keen to sign Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga. The player is highly rated at Anfield but there is expected to be competition from Arsenal for the services of the France international.
The 23-year-old is a two-time Champions League winner at the Bernabéu and has one of the best options among defensive midfielders in Europe. His contract with Madrid runs until 2029 and he has a contract valuation of £45 million on Transfermarkt.
Liverpool may be favorites for Camavinga
Arsenal are expected to compete with Liverpool for Eduardo Camavinga, but they may not be keen on paying an unreasonably high transfer fee or entering into a bidding war as they already have plenty of depth in the engine room.
That said, Liverpool are expected to be in pole position to sign Camavinga from Madrid and the former Rennes star promises to be a brilliant addition to their squad, thanks to his ability to win the ball with precise tackles and his ability to drive forward.
Camavinga is also very good with the ball at his feet and an intelligent reader of the game, so all things considered he is the perfect box-to-box midfielder for Liverpool, who seriously need such a profile in their squad for next season.
However, he is highly rated at Real Madrid and with Aurelien Tchouameni’s struggles for form, Camavinga could perhaps play a bigger role. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if he is willing to swap Spain for England this year.
