Inter Milan director rules out summer move for Real Madrid midfielder: ‘Not even realistic’
The latest Eduardo Camavinga transfer speculation has received a major update after Inter Milan publicly distanced themselves from any move for the Real Madrid midfielder.
Camavinga’s future at Real Madrid has become one of the talking points of the summer, especially following reports suggesting that Jose Mourinho is not counting on Camavinga as a regular starter next season.
With uncertainty growing around the Frenchman’s role, several clubs have been linked with a potential move, but Inter Milan have now made their position crystal clear.
Despite enduring a difficult campaign and missing out on a place in France’s World Cup squad, the 23-year-old remains one of Europe’s most valuable midfielders.
Inter Milan rule out Camavinga transfer
The Inter Milan transfer news has been dominated by links with high-profile players in recent weeks, but Camavinga has never been part of their plans.
Speaking about the rumours, Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio dismissed the possibility of signing the Real Madrid midfielder in comments reported by Fabrizio Romano.
“It’s not even realistic. In terms of value and salary we can not sign him, no way,” he said.
That statement effectively ends the recent Camavinga transfer rumours involving the Serie A giants.
Mourinho’s plans for Camavinga raise questions
While Inter Milan are out of the picture, Eduardo Camavinga’s Real Madrid future remains uncertain.
The former Rennes midfielder struggled to produce his best football last season and endured one of the most challenging periods of his career.
His campaign was heavily criticised following an infamous red card against Bayern Munich, while inconsistent performances throughout the season affected his standing within the squad.
Those struggles also had international consequences, as Camavinga was omitted from France’s World Cup squad.
Recent Real Madrid transfer news has suggested that Mourinho’s plans for Camavinga do not involve a prominent role in the team.
In fact, the Portuguese coach intends to inform the midfielder that opportunities could be limited next season, potentially opening the door for a Camavinga exit.

Jose Mourinho was always clear about getting rid of Real Madrid midfielder this summer – report
Real Madrid’s summer transfer window was largely successful, not only in terms of securing key arrivals but also in terms of letting go of players who had no place in the dynamics.
One player who stood out in the second category was Dani Ceballos as the Spanish midfielder was frozen out of Real Madrid’s starting dynamics for several years before his eventual departure.
In the end, the club simply let the player leave as a free agent by accepting a contract termination as they saw the salary space freed as a win compared to his presence.
Mourinho’s clear stance
As confirmed in a recent report by Diario AS, Real Madrid’s new manager Jose Mourinho has no doubt that he did not count on Ceballos for the ongoing season.
Being the straightforward communicator that he is, the Portuguese manager directly informed Ceballos that he did not count on him in any capacity, speaking out loud about a fact that was known as an open secret for a long time.
Having clarity that his situation at the club was not going to change, Ceballos pressed to leave and eventually had his way as the club allowed him to walk out of the front door with no transfer fee.
Times were tense
The Spanish outlet also add that the decision to let the player leave with a contract termination was not easy for Real Madrid to accept, especially given that it is a last resort.
In the negotiations between Ceballos and the Real Madrid hierarchy, there were some moments filled with tension and disagreements.
In fact, there was even an initial exit agreement that was reached which was cancelled in the hope of a better outcome.
Eventually, however, both parties reached a fitting resolution and Real Madrid enabled the player’s departure without any hurdles and Ceballos went on to join Real Betis.
Even that move required the player to take a massive cut on his salary, but the saga worked out well for both clubs as the player. From Real Madrid’s perspective, the space created on the team’s roster was worth its weight in gold.
