Serie A giants make struggling Real Madrid midfielder their number one priority – report
Eduardo Camavinga’s future continues to generate speculation, but the latest reports suggest the Real Madrid midfielder has little interest in leaving despite growing attention from one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
According to journalist Ben Fernandes Santos, Juventus have placed the French international high on their summer wishlist as they look to strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s squad ahead of the new season.
The Italian giants view Camavinga as a player capable of transforming their midfield, and the Juventus manager is said to be a strong admirer of the 23-year-old.
However, convincing the player to leave Madrid could prove to be a far more difficult challenge than making an offer.
Camavinga is Juventus’ priority
The journalist states that Juventus will be extremely active in the transfer market and midfield reinforcements remain one of their priorities.
Among the various names being considered, Camavinga has emerged as one of the most attractive options.
The Frenchman combines youth, top-level experience and versatility, qualities that have made him one of the most highly regarded midfielders of his generation.
According to the report, Spalletti is keen on bringing the Real Madrid star to Turin and sees him as a player who could become an important part of his project.
That admiration is understandable, as despite an inconsistent campaign, Camavinga remains a player with enormous potential.
His ability to recover possession, progress the ball and operate in multiple midfield roles continues to attract interest from top clubs across Europe.
Camavinga wants to stay and fight
While transfer rumours have intensified in recent months, the player’s own position appears unchanged.
The report states that Camavinga has no intention of leaving Real Madrid this summer and remains fully committed to earning a bigger role under new manager Jose Mourinho.
Competition for places in midfield is expected to be fierce next season, especially now that Bernardo Silva has been signed too.
However, the French international sees that challenge as motivation rather than a reason to seek a fresh start elsewhere.
Although questions have been raised about his development over the past few seasons, Camavinga still possesses the talent that once made him one of Europe’s most exciting young prospects.
This is why at Real Madrid, there remains a belief that he can still reach those levels.

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.
