Liverpool set sights on €50 million-rated Real Madrid midfielder – report
Eduardo Camavinga has come under fire of late for his inconsistent performances for Real Madrid. The French international was poor against Mallorca over the weekend and was at fault for the opposition’s first goal as the Merengues fell to a 2-1 defeat.
Following the result, speculations over the 23-year-old midfielder’s future at the club started doing the rounds, suggesting that Real Madrid would be open to parting ways with him if good offers arrive.
PSG in France and clubs from the Premier League were said to be interested, but the player, for now, does not intend to leave.
Liverpool enter the fray
Now, according to L’Equipe (h/t AS), Premier League champions Liverpool have also set their sights on Camavinga heading into the summer window.
The Reds are long-term admirers of the midfielder, having had their eyes on him even before his move to Real Madrid back in 2021.
Now, with his future at the Santiago Bernabeu uncertain, Liverpool are once again showing an interest in signing Camavinga.
Real Madrid, for their part, are not actively looking to offload the 23-year-old star. However, if Liverpool or other interested parties come forward with significant offers, they are likely to be studied.
But, as mentioned earlier, Camavinga himself is not too keen on leaving Real Madrid and wishes to stay put at the club beyond this season.
The midfielder has seemingly fallen behind breakout teenager Thiago Pitarch in recent weeks. And should he struggle to get enough minutes between now and the end of the season, his stance could change.
It remains to be seen how things evolve with Camavinga, who has a contract with Real Madrid until the summer of 2029.

Real Madrid will be looking to pick up their fifth win of the 2026/27 La Liga season when they take on Elche CF at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero later tonight.
With 12 points from five games, Los Blancos are currently second in the league table, three points below leaders FC Barcelona.
As such, the Spanish capital club will be eager to get the win and close the gap to the top.
Guler starts, Bellingham rested
Ahead of kickoff, Real Madrid have announced the starting lineup that will take the field against Elche, with Jose Mourinho making some important changes.
For starters, Arda Guler is back in the lineup after appearing as a substitute in the win over Rayo Vallecano.
Interestingly, however, he starts in the attacking midfield role, with Mourinho opting to rest Jude Bellingham, who has started all of Real Madrid’s games so far.
That also means that Yan Diomande retains his place in the team, starting for a second time in a row on the right wing. Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. continue in their respective positions in attack.
Another notable change sees Aurelien Tchouameni make his first start of the season after recovering from injury and making two appearances off the bench.
He replaces Bernardo Silva as Federico Valverde’s partner in the middle of the park.
Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marc Cucurella come in as full-backs, while Ibrahima Konate and Dean Huijsen slot in at centre-back in front of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
