Real Madrid midfielder has no intention of leaving club amid PSG, Premier League links
Real Madrid are set for a massive transfer window in June with the administration already strategically targeting certain positions on the field.
The central midfield is one such department where the board see the need for a new elite player, and it is clear that such an arrival must be balanced out with departures from the same department.
After all, there is already serious competition for places in midfield.
One player who has been linked with a departure from the club for the same reason is Eduardo Camavinga.
While the player has indeed been far from disappointing, he has also failed to hit the levels expected of him and has already seen his prominence take a steep fall this season.
Camavinga’s stance
In recent days, Camavinga has been linked with a move to the Premier League and has even seen PSG emerge as a candidate interested in his transfer.
As confirmed by Florian Plettenberg, however, the Frenchman himself has no intention of leaving Real Madrid.
The player is aware of his complicated situation at the Spanish capital but is far from dissatisfied.
He is willing to fight for his spot and make a name for himself and thus does not even consider leaving the club.
Despite all the talk of interest from England and France, Camavinga has not even spoken to any party and is completely focused on Real Madrid’s season. He wants to stay at the club for as long as possible.
As it stands, the 23-year-old star’s contract with Real Madrid runs out in 2029 and he is thus in no rush to make a move.
Real Madrid has always been the club of his dreams, and he will continue to fight to succeed at the club.

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. admits finishing problem after another frustrating night vs Elche: ‘Can’t miss that much’
Vinicius Jr.’s difficult start in front of goal continued against Elche, and the Real Madrid forward did not need anyone to tell him he had missed another chance to make the difference.
The Brazilian finished the night without a goal despite having chances to get on the scoresheet, while his teammates could only watch from the bench as opportunities went begging.
Jose Mourinho had already identified the problem before kick-off, bluntly pointing to the issue facing his forward, stating, “He’s missing the goal.”
Vini offered an equally frank assessment afterwards.
Rather than hide from another frustrating evening, he accepted responsibility on social media: “The goals will come back; I can’t miss that much…”
Two chances, no finish for Vinicius
Vinicius had two particularly clear openings against Elche, but neither produced the finish Real Madrid needed from their star forward.
The first arrived when he found himself one-on-one with the opposition goalkeeper.
Instead of finding the net, Vinicius caught the ball with the tip of his foot and sent his effort wide. Arda Guler was available during the move and called for the ball, but Vini backed himself to finish the chance.
He had another opportunity after the interval, this time following an excellent pass from Guler during a quick Real Madrid transition. Again, though, Vinicius could not find the target.
His evening ended in the 68th minute, with Mourinho deciding the Brazilian was tired and turning his attention towards Sunday’s Atletico Madrid derby.
Mourinho has a bigger decision to make
The numbers show why Vinicius’ finishing has become a talking point. He managed five shots against Elche, but only one was on target and none found the net.
After seven appearances this season, the Brazilian has scored just once, which is a striking return for a player Real Madrid rely upon to provide a major share of their attacking threat.
Ultimately, though, Real Madrid found another route to victory, with Arda Guler, Kylian Mbappe and Carlos Espi providing the goals in the 3-2 comeback.
