Eduardo Camavinga 'Decides' Next Move Amid Man Utd and Man City Interest

Eduardo Camavinga is rumoured to have already decided on his next move, having grown frustrated by a lack of playing time at Real Madrid.

The Frenchman has registered just nine minutes of competitive action for Los Blancos this season, with the youngster seemingly not in Xabi Alonso’s plans.

Camavinga, who can play in both midfield and at left-back, left Rennes for Real Madrid in 2021 after establishing himself as one of the brightest young talents on the continent.

He featured prominently under former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti but has so far failed to work his way into Alonso’s plans following his arrival from Bayer Leverkusen.

And a host of Premier League sides are keen on Camavinga should the La Liga giants opt to sell the France international.

Manchester United, who are in the market for midfield reinforcements, have been credited with an interest, as have rivals Manchester City.

However, the Manchester pair wouldn’t be alone in their pursuit of Camavinga, with another Premier League side reportedly keeping tabs on any potential exit.

According to former United and Sunderland scout Mick Brown, Newcastle are monitoring Camavinga’s situation with a view to a potential move.

Eddie Howe is looking to add reinforcements to his squad, with a central midfielder a priority when the transfer window opens in January, with Brown of the opinion that the Magpies will approach Camavinga at the turn of the year.

“It gets to a point where he’s going to ask questions about his future,” Brown told Football Insider.

“He was the talk of the town not long ago; everybody said he would be the next big thing, and he’s a brilliantly talented player who always looks impressive.

“Over the last year or two, though, he hasn’t been as involved in the Real Madrid team as you’d expect. Whether there’s an issue behind the scenes, I don’t know, but both Ancelotti and now Alonso haven’t really had him as part of their plans.

“I think, at least in his head, he’ll be having a look at the options available to him if he was to move away from Madrid, and seeing what might be there for him.

“A move to the Premier League would suit him and I definitely think it’s something he’d be open to.

“Man United have been linked with him quite a lot, but the club I’ve heard mentioned recently is Newcastle. He could be an ambitious move for them.

“Like I’ve said, he’s a very talented player, and playing under Howe might get the best out of him because he’s always spoken about highly for his man management.

“So if he becomes available, whether it’s in January or next year, Newcastle could well be among those willing to take a gamble on bringing him in.

“Of course, with any deal, it’ll have to be for the right price and that sort of thing, but that’s something they’ll have to consider when the time comes.”

However, interested parties will have to spend big to sign Camavinga, who is reportedly valued at £70m.

He is contracted to the Bernabeu until 2029 and, with Real Madrid under no obligation to sell, it would take a hefty bid to bring the La Liga powerhouse to the negotiating table.
