Real Madrid slap €60m price tag on young midfielder as Premier League clubs circle – report
A recent update from Real Madrid Confidencial has revealed that several Premier League sides are exploring the possibility of signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.
The outlet furthers that the Spanish giants are reportedly open to hearing offers and have placed an estimated value of around €60 million on the Frenchman, a price that many English clubs view as a realistic investment for such a talented and versatile player.
Notably, Manchester City are said to be leading the chase. Pep Guardiola is a known admirer of Camavinga and believes his physical strength, pressing ability, and calmness on the ball would suit the Premier League perfectly.
Man City’s interest
The Premier League club is reportedly prepared to pay the asking price, seeing him as a long-term piece in their midfield rebuild.
The relationship between Real Madrid and Manchester City remains healthy despite their on-field battles, which could make negotiations straightforward if both sides decide to open talks.
However, a move in the middle of the season seems unlikely, as Camavinga remains a valuable part of Xabi Alonso’s plans and is not actively seeking an exit.
Real Madrid’s stand and future possibilities
Within the Madrid camp, there is still great belief in Camavinga’s future.
The club view him as one of their most promising young players but are also aware that offers around €60 million could be tempting from a financial standpoint.
Having joined Los Blancos from Rennes for €31 million, the Frenchman’s potential sale would bring a notable profit if he fails to secure a consistent starting place.
Meanwhile, alongside Manchester City, both Manchester United and Liverpool are also monitoring his situation closely.
No rush to make a decision
Even so, Real Madrid are not in a rush to sell. The coming months will be key for Camavinga.
If he continues to grow under Alonso and becomes a regular starter, his market value could easily rise well above €60 million.
For now, the club’s message is clear that they are willing to listen, but not desperate to sell.

Real Madrid identify 21-year-old French star as potential Thibaut Courtois successor – report
Real Madrid have reportedly identified Toulouse goalkeeper Guillaume Restes as a potential long-term successor to Thibaut Courtois, despite moving closer to securing the Belgian’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to Bernabeu Digital, the Spanish giants have begun exploring goalkeeping options in the transfer market, with the 21-year-old Frenchman among the names on their shortlist.
Real Madrid could consider a move for Restes as early as next summer, with his market value estimated at around €19 million.
The interest comes as Real Madrid work towards extending Courtois’ contract.
As reported before, the Belgian goalkeeper’s current deal expires in 2027, but the club has reached a verbal agreement with him over an extension that would keep him at the Bernabeu for the 2027/28 season.
Why Real Madrid are monitoring Guillaume Restes
Restes has emerged as a potential option for Real Madrid as they assess their long-term goalkeeping plans.
The Frenchman has featured in every match for Toulouse this season and is regarded as one of the most promising young goalkeepers in French football.
At 21, he represents a younger alternative for a club looking to plan beyond its established first-choice goalkeeper.
Furthermore, his reported €19 million valuation could also make him a relatively affordable option compared with the cost of signing an established goalkeeper.
However, the interest does not mean Real Madrid have decided to replace Courtois.
Rather, Restes is currently understood to be one of several options being considered as the club evaluates its future requirements.
Courtois closes in on Real Madrid contract extension
Courtois remains central to Real Madrid’s immediate plans, with the club reportedly reaching an agreement in principle with the Belgian over a contract extension.
Both parties have reached a verbal agreement, and the new deal is expected to be signed soon.
The extension would take Courtois beyond his current contract, which expires in 2027, and keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu for the 2027/28 campaign.
