Real Madrid is prepared to make significant changes to its squad ahead of next season. There will be no major shake-ups, but rather a few changes to give the squad more balance and competitiveness. These changes could mean that some important players could be left out, such as Camavinga, who has been well below expectations.
Real Madrid looking to strengthen midfield
Real Madrid are looking for midfielders to breathe new life into the current squad and, above all, to balance a midfield that has been out of sync and lacking in leadership throughout the season. The midfield of any squad has the objective of sustaining the team and must be the link between defense and attack, and this year, in the team led by Ancelotti, this has not existed. We have seen a team that defended poorly and attacked poorly, relying on individual players to get the results, but against the big rivals, this has not been enough.
The list of players for the midfield casting seems endless, with players from all leagues, some with more experience, some with less, but all of them young and able to bring future and stability to the squad.
Camavinga in the spotlight
As we have mentioned, if new players come in, others will have to leave, and Eduardo Camavinga could be one of those sacrificed by Real Madrid. After four seasons with the team, his progress has been evident season after season, until this season. Hampered by injuries, he has struggled to find the necessary rhythm, but beyond his physical condition, inconsistency has been the norm during the season, with some outstanding performances, but more performances to forget.
Real Madrid are aware that Camavinga has a great future ahead of him, but they could be interested in another type of player who can bring other qualities to the midfield.
Possible sale of Camavinga
Given the scenario with the arrival of new midfielders, Real Madrid needs to make room in the squad, but also free up salary cap space to keep the club’s accounts in balance.
Real Madrid is thinking of Camavinga for this: they know he is a player who has no shortage of suitors, with PSG in France possibly one of the most interested, but several Premier League teams, such as Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, have also shown interest in signing him.
Real Madrid could consider selling him if a good offer comes in, and it should not be less than 70 million euros, money that could be used to make other signings without upsetting the team’s finances. The only problem Real Madrid has now is that Camavinga is suffering from an injury that could keep him out until mid-August, and they doubt that any club would be willing to pay that amount with the player in the infirmary and given his performance throughout the year.
Camavinga’s future at Real Madrid is up in the air. The club wants to sell him, not give him away, and would only accept an offer of €70 million for him, a price that at the moment seems unlikely to attract any club. The arrival of new players in his position could push the situation to the limit, forcing the player to choose another destination to continue his progress in the world of soccer.
