Manchester United are preparing to establish direct contact with Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga as the club continues its pursuit of midfield reinforcements this summer.
United have already invested in the midfield this window, but a report from Fichajes claims the club is ready to make a direct approach to convince the France international to join Old Trafford. Camavinga has emerged as one of the prominent names on United’s shortlist as the recruitment team works to raise overall squad quality.
Despite a difficult season at Real Madrid, Camavinga remains one of Europe’s most respected midfielders. The 23-year-old has struggled to secure a regular starting berth, with fierce competition within the Spanish club’s midfield limiting his minutes. That dynamic has fuelled speculation about his long-term future, attracting close attention from several elite clubs.
According to Fichajes, United believe the current climate at Madrid presents an opening to test the club’s resolve. The Red Devils are expected to reach out to Camavinga’s representatives to determine whether the player would be open to a Premier League move.
Real Madrid still rate the Frenchman highly, though reports suggest the Spanish giants could entertain offers if a proposal of around £42 million arrives. Convincing Camavinga himself may prove the larger obstacle.
Camavinga’s versatility is a key factor in United’s interest. He is capable of operating across several midfield positions while also covering at left-back, making him an attractive option for a squad seeking greater depth heading into the new campaign.
Any deal remains far from straightforward. Camavinga is under a long-term contract at Madrid, meaning a substantial transfer fee would be required. United would also need to persuade the player that a move to England is the right step for his career at this stage.
The situation is firmly in its early stages, with contact anticipated rather than active negotiations already underway. Follow TipsGG for the latest updates as this transfer story develops.
