The situation of Eduardo Camavinga at Real Madrid has taken an unexpected turn. The young midfielder, who arrived at the club with high expectations, hasn't managed to meet what was desired of him this season. Between injuries and his inconsistent performance, the Frenchman has lost ground to other teammates, and his future at the club looks increasingly complicated.
Performance Below Expectations
When Eduardo Camavinga arrived at Real Madrid, many expected him to establish himself as one of the most important midfielders on the team. However, throughout the season, he hasn't managed to show the consistency needed to be among the starters.
Injuries have been a significant factor that has hindered his development, but he has also had performances that haven't convinced the fans or the management. He has made mistakes that have cost goals, such as losing the ball in dangerous areas of the field. These errors have affected the club's confidence in him and have cast doubt on his ability to take on a leading role in the team.
Injuries: A Constant Obstacle
One of the major problems Camavinga has faced this season has been injuries. Although they aren't serious injuries, the constant physical discomfort has prevented him from maintaining a good streak of matches. The lack of continuity has been key to his performance not being the desired one.
In a club like Real Madrid, where the competition for a spot is fierce, any player who isn't at 100% risks being relegated to the bench. Injuries have limited Camavinga's playing time and, consequently, his ability to secure an undisputed place in the starting eleven.
Chelsea's Interest in Tchouaméni
Chelsea has been looking to strengthen their midfield, and in that context, they showed interest in Aurélien Tchouaméni, Camavinga's teammate in the French national team. During the season, the English club kept an eye on the young Real Madrid midfielder.
However, Chelsea has encountered a surprise within their own squad. Moisés Caicedo, who joined Chelsea last summer, has had a spectacular season under Maresca's direction. The Ecuadorian has been key to the team, and his performance has convinced Chelsea that he is their future pillar.
Caicedo's good performance has changed Chelsea's plans. Caicedo's renewal and consolidation have made the interest in Tchouaméni disappear and, therefore, in Camavinga. Chelsea no longer needs another reinforcement in that position, which has left Camavinga out of the conversations for a possible transfer.
