Manchester United is reportedly fighting with Chelsea about a deal to sign Real Madrid -midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, according to Offside.
The 22-year-old moved to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu from Stade Rennais in 2021. Over the years he has had great success in the Spanish capital and won two La Liga titles, such as many Champions League trophies and many other large cup matches.
However, he has struggled with injury problems in recent years; As a result, the Frenchman only started 15 games in the Champions League and La Liga in the past term.
He has been an injury problem in recent months and after repairing his edition, the midfielder was in the competition day team in the opening champion competition match against Olympique de Marseille in midweek.
However, Camavinga did not play a minute in this game. Now, Offside claim that although the 22-year-old was an important player for Los Blancos under Carlo Ancelotti, his situation has changed since the arrival of Xabi Alonso as the new manager.
Premier League clubs have therefore started to show interest to sign him by taking advantage of his situation. Chelsea has registered a ‘concrete’ interest and could make a formal approach to secure his services next year.
Conflict
Man Utd and Newcastle United are also in this race, so Camavinga is not too few potential vovers. He has left for four years in his current contract with Real Madrid, and they want around £ 69 million to leave him.
Camavinga is a defensive midfielder of feature, but is also comfortable in a box-to-box role. Moreover, it is able to offer coverage in the left position if necessary.
Chelsea already has a strong midfield department, with Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández as the first-choice midfield pairs. On the other hand, Romeo Lavia and Andrey Santos are the backup options, but Lavia has struggled with fitness problems since he came to Southampton a few years ago.
On the other hand, Man Utd has to renew the midfield department desperately, because Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte have shown inconsistent versions, while Kobbie Mainoo has found it difficult to regularly get playing time under Ruben Amorim.
Camavinga has proven its value at the highest level and would be a great coup if MAN UTD or Chelsea will eventually succeed in January or next summer.
