Manchester United are reportedly maintaining a strong interest in Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga ahead of the summer transfer deadline.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Red Devils have been working on a deal for the Frenchman for several weeks as Michael Carrick looks to strengthen his midfield options.
Camavinga joined Real Madrid in 2021 and has since made 223 appearances for the Spanish giants, primarily operating in central midfield while also filling in at left-back.
The 23-year-old’s Transfermarkt valuation stands at £42 million, though Madrid are expected to demand considerably more than that figure for his signature.
Despite his impressive career in the Spanish capital, Camavinga has seen his standing in the squad diminish under manager Álvaro Arbeloa, with academy graduate Thiago Pitarch preferred in several fixtures.
A series of inconsistent performances further damaged his standing, including a costly Champions League outing against Bayern Munich in which he received a red card.
Those struggles had significant consequences internationally, with Didier Deschamps leaving him out of the France squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Although Jose Mourinho’s arrival at the club had been expected to offer Camavinga a fresh opportunity, significant interest from outside clubs has continued to swirl around the midfielder throughout the summer.
Reports of a potential move to Old Trafford had quietened in recent weeks, but Fichajes now indicates United remain firmly in the hunt and are actively pursuing a deal.
Madrid could be open to selling the midfielder if they receive a sufficient offer, given the number of midfield options currently available to Mourinho at the Bernabeu.
Camavinga’s trophy haul is remarkable for a player of his age, including two UEFA Champions League titles, two La Liga championships, two UEFA Super Cup trophies, one FIFA Club World Cup, and the UEFA Nations League with France.
His contributions to those successes extended well beyond squad membership, with the midfielder playing an influential role in several of Real Madrid’s famous comebacks under former boss Carlo Ancelotti.
For Carrick, securing a player of Camavinga’s versatility, experience, and winning pedigree would represent a major statement of intent from Manchester United this summer.
The United manager is actively working to build a squad capable of challenging for both domestic and European honours, and a player of Camavinga’s calibre would significantly enhance those ambitions.
