Real Madrid midfielder turned down €50 million offer from Turkey in the summer
Eduardo Camavinga was one of the Real Madrid players who was linked heavily with a departure in the summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old star had endured another disappointing campaign in 2025/26, which led to him missing the World Cup with France.
Speculations about his future at the Santiago Bernabeu were rife, especially with Los Blancos being keen on adding another midfielder in the summer.
Now, it has emerged that the former Rennes wonderkid turned down an offer to move to Turkey.
Camavinga rejected Galatasaray
Indeed, according to journalist Matteo Moretto on Radio MARCA, Camavinga turned down a significant approach from Galatasaray during the summer, despite Real Madrid being prepared to listen to offers for the midfielder.
As per the reliable transfer expert, the Turkish giants were prepared to shell out as much as €50 million for the Frenchman during the transfer window.
However, the proposal ultimately went no further because Camavinga himself rejected the possibility of leaving Real Madrid.
Mourinho played a key role
According to Moretto, Real Madrid were not completely opposed to the possibility of Camavinga leaving.
Indeed, Los Blancos were willing to consider offers for the 23-year-old, but his situation changed as he earned the trust of head coach Jose Mourinho.
That backing from the Portuguese tactician is understood to have played an important role in Camavinga’s decision to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu and fight for his place in the team.
The French international has, so far, started only one game for Real Madrid this season, with Federico Valverde and new signing Bernardo Silva being preferred ahead of him as the double pivot.
The return of Aurelien Tchouameni this week from an injury is likely to push Camavinga further down the pecking order under Mourinho. Thiago Pitarch, who is rated highly within the club, is also expected to compete for minutes.
However, despite the situation, the 23-year-old star remains determined to fight and gain prominence in the manager’s plans.
Whether his stance changes in January, depending on how much he plays during the first half of the season, remains to be seen.
Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
