Eduardo Camavinga to Man United: Real Madrid star deal “complicated”, but possible?

Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga during the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils have already increased their midfield in the current market with the additions of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, but a third player is expected to arrive on the scene.

Roma’s Manu Kone has emerged as an option for the 20-time English champions following the breach of Ederson’s contract with Atalanta BC.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Camavinga is also being considered, and Real Madrid are believed to be willing to sell the Frenchman for the right price.

Camavinga made 43 appearances for Real Madrid in the 2025-26 campaign, but struggled to show his best form for long.

Man United are ‘considering’ a summer move for Camavinga

The midfielder has won 11 trophies during his time at the Bernbaeu, including two La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns, made 223 appearances, scored six goals and registered 11 assists, but his time at Madrid could be coming to an end.

“I told you in the last video that Man Utd is not finished. Yesterday, I tell you today, and I tell you in this new video. Man Utd wants to sign a new midfielder,” said Romano through his official. YouTube channel.

“Man Utd wants to go for a new defensive player, a player who can run, who can also bring new legs in the middle of the field. I told you that Man Utd reached, with a special review in the last video, Manu Kone, the French player from Rome.

“They have talked about the player side at the moment, there is no request from Roma yet, but they are talking about the player side. I was told and I told you in the last video, Man Utd is considering a few things before deciding which player they want.

“Another option, which is being talked about in the meetings, is Eduardo Camavinga. So Camavinga, Manu Kone, that type of player, a midfielder who can run, help with energy and physicality, so that’s what Man Utd want.

Man United are ‘planning’ to sign a third midfielder this summer

“For Camavinga, Eduardo Camavinga does not want to leave Real Madrid this summer, Camavinga wants to stay, Camavinga wants to continue with the club.

“So the story of Camavinga can only happen if the player decides to leave – but at the moment Camavinga wants to stay at Real Madrid. So that’s why Camavinga’s deal is difficult. But Camavinga, Kone, this kind of internal discussion, this kind of calls, helps you understand what kind of player Manchester United wants.

“So Andre Santos but also Youri Tielemans and then a player who can defend and do that kind of dirty work in midfield. So that’s also very important.”

Manchester City and Liverpool are among the teams to be linked with Camavinga who was not in the France squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Although Camavinga’s move this summer is seen as “difficult”, it is certainly unlikely that Man United will bring the Frenchman to Old Trafford.
