Eduardo Camavinga's card will not be free if Manchester City continue their efforts to sign the Real Madrid star this summer, as reliable sources have reported. Camavinga is considered a top-class player in football, with several Champions League and La Liga titles, which have raised his status in European football.
The midfielder has not featured much for Real Madrid this season, and that could open up the possibility of him leaving the Spanish giants this summer. He is multi-dimensional, capable of playing on the left side of midfield and defence, as well as in the middle, a position that Pep Guardiola is keen to strengthen.
Manchester City are planning a summer overhaul of their squad, a process that began in the January transfer window. Camavinga is one of the players identified for inclusion, although a deal will be challenging as Real Madrid rarely let their best players go. Given that he is only 22 years old, all of his best years are ahead of him, which Real Madrid will take into account in negotiations. This strategic opportunity could strengthen Manchester City's squad depth and bring a new impetus to the midfield.
Sources have informed that to sign Camavinga, Manchester City would have to pay at least £70 million, especially since he is tied to a long-term contract at the Bernabeu until 2029. If the player decides to seek a move on his own, the situation could become a little easier for the English club.
Improving midfield options is a priority for Manchester City this summer, having spent the season without Rodri. Guardiola wants to provide depth in midfield for next season in case of a serious injury. City are also reportedly competing with Tottenham for Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton, reinforcing the squad's renewal plan.
