Real Madrid are willing to sell Eduardo Camavinga this summer, according to reports in Spain, and Manchester United are pushing to complete a surprise deal for the 22-year-old.

The France international has over four years remaining on his current contract at the Santiago Bernabeu, but Carlo Ancelotti’s side are reportedly open to offloading him in 2025 amid significant interest in his services.

Spanish outlet Fichajes have claimed that Camavinga could leave Real Madrid this year, with Man Utd set to battle Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich for his signature.

PSG are currently deemed to be the favourites in the race to sign Camavinga, but Man Utd and Bayern are also keeping tabs on his situation in Spain and are reportedly ready to intensify their pursuit over the next few months.

Camavinga has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €77.9 million - the 26th highest of any player in world football - and Real Madrid are likely to demand a huge transfer fee in order to sanction a sale.

However, an exit is seemingly on the cards in 2025 and Man Utd are closely monitoring Camavinga’s situation as they look to sign significant reinforcements this summer.

Eduardo Camavinga to Man Utd?

Ruben Amorim is determined to bolster the first-team squad at his disposal, and signing a new central midfielder is reportedly one of his main priorities for the upcoming summer transfer window.

Casemiro has admitted his desire to remain at Old Trafford until 2026, but Christian Eriksen is expected to leave the club this year and Man Utd have reportedly identified Camavinga as a possible replacement.

Kobbie Mainoo may also be forced to leave the Red Devils due to their precarious financial position, although Amorim is a fan of the England international and a sale may not be needed if Mason Greenwood secures a Marseille exit.
