Xabi Alonso is on vacation like the rest of the team, but the Real Madrid coach has to digest what happened in the Club World Cup and make decisions. One of the players he was unable to see in action is Eduardo Camavinga, who the club hopes will become an important part of the Torlosarra team, but who has been given a price tag due to interest from other teams.
Camavinga ready to return to play
In the final days of Real Madrid’s training camp in Miami, Camavinga was available again after injury. The injury came after a very inconsistent season, largely due to his time in the infirmary and his performance on the pitch. The latest setback came at the end of April in the match against Getafe.
The midfielder was injured with a rather unfavorable medical report: he suffered a complete rupture of his left abductor tendon. The injury was severe and he was ruled out of the World Cup. However, his recovery was very positive and he returned to training with the group in the United States at full capacity, but did not get any playing time. He is now resting on vacation to return to full fitness for the start of the season and earn his place.
Xabi Alonso must make decisions
In the coming weeks, Xabi Alonso is expected to talk to the club about the changes he wants to make to the squad. Everything points to the player wanting to sign a midfielder, which could complicate the situation for Camavinga, who has yet to play under Xabi Alonso due to the injury that has kept him sidelined.
The club is committed to the player and has made this clear to Xabi Alonso. If he can stay injury-free, he could be a key player in Real Madrid’s midfield, where Arda Güler is in the process of becoming the player he is expected to be and where Bellingham will be unavailable for months due to his shoulder operation, which has been postponed for some time.
Real Madrid puts a price on his departure
According to Sportskeeda, Real Madrid would be willing to let Eduardo Camavinga leave if an offer of €100 million arrives, as Xabi Alonso sees Tchouaméni as his favorite pivot.
Camavinga returned from injury to train with the team at the Club World Cup, and although his quality has never been in doubt, his future has been called into question on multiple occasions. These are just rumors, but if the opportunity to secure his departure arises, Real Madrid is clear that it will not be giving the player away for free.
Real Madrid wants to strengthen its midfield, and that means that some players may have to leave. The main candidate for this is Ceballos, who, despite being available, has not been counted on by Xabi Alonso. Xabi Alonso has not yet had Camavinga 100% available to him to be clear about what his role could be amid the high level of competition within the team.
