Real Madrid's midfield dilemma as Camavinga rejects City overtures

Real Madrid’s midfield options remain unsettled after Eduardo Camavinga’s inconsistent season, prompting the club to entertain possible offers. Yet the 23‑year‑old French midfielder has publicly ruled out a summer exit, insisting he wants to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu and prove his worth.

Real Madrid’s openness to discussing a sale on Camavinga is linked to José Mourinho’s assessment of the midfielder’s recent performances. The Portuguese manager has expressed doubt over Camavinga’s overall impact during the last few campaigns.

Manchester City have shown genuine interest, with direct contacts reported between the two clubs regarding a possible transfer. No final proposal has been confirmed, but the English side is understood to be evaluating the option.

Camavinga told his representatives, that he has no desire to leave Madrid. He describes last season as an unfortunate chapter rather than a true reflection of his level and aims to rediscover his best form.

Mourinho would not oppose a departure if a suitable proposal arrives, yet Camavinga’s objective is to convince the manager that he still deserves a long‑term role. The situation leaves the decision largely in Real Madrid’s hands.
