Manchester United Ready to Test Real Madrid With Camavinga Approach

Manchester United remain determined to land Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, according to Fichajes, as Jose Mourinho eyes a major midfield reinforcement this summer.

Since joining Madrid in 2021, the Frenchman has racked up 223 appearances and cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s finest midfielders, with his valuation now sitting well above the £42m Transfermarkt figure. Despite that pedigree, Camavinga has slipped down the pecking order under Álvaro Arbeloa, with academy graduate Thiago Pitarch often preferred instead.

A Difficult Run of Form

The 23-year-old’s campaign hasn’t gone smoothly. A red card against Bayern Munich in the Champions League added to a run of inconsistent performances, and the fallout even cost him a place in Didier Deschamps’ France squad for the 2026 World Cup. Mourinho’s arrival was tipped to offer a fresh start, but United’s interest hasn’t faded — talks are reportedly still progressing behind the scenes.

Madrid Could Sanction a Sale

Fichajes claims Real Madrid may be open to cashing in on Camavinga if a strong enough bid arrives, given their depth in midfield options. It would mark a stunning exit for a player with two Champions League titles, two La Liga crowns, two UEFA Super Cups, a Club World Cup and a Nations League trophy to his name — silverware he’s earned through decisive contributions to some of Ancelotti’s most memorable European nights.

What He’d Bring to Old Trafford

For Michael Carrick, signing a midfielder with Camavinga’s versatility, big-game experience and winning mentality would be a statement addition, giving United’s rebuild real Champions League-tested quality as they push to compete on multiple fronts next season.
