The summer transfer market is approaching, and one of the names starting to generate debate is Eduardo Camavinga. The French midfielder is a key player at Real Madrid, but the enormous competition in the midfield has reduced his prominence at times.
Now, his future could take an unexpected turn. Although City and PSG want him, a Barça legend has requested his signing. It is Pep Guardiola, the current City coach, who believes Camavinga would be an ideal reinforcement for his team.
Guardiola wants Camavinga at City
The Catalan coach is a great admirer of the Frenchman. His versatility, recovery ability, and quality in ball distribution fit perfectly into Manchester City's system. Guardiola has shown on several occasions that he likes to work with versatile midfielders, and Camavinga fits that profile perfectly.
City would be willing to pay 83M euros for his signing. It's a significant amount, but one that the English club can easily afford. For Camavinga, the Premier League is an attractive league, and in Guardiola's team, he could have a more prominent role than at Madrid.
Will Madrid let him go?
Despite City's interest, Camavinga's departure from Real Madrid won't be easy. Florentino Pérez considers him a key piece for the future, and his contract doesn't expire soon. Additionally, Camavinga has been crucial for Ancelotti, shining as a midfielder and full-back when required.
However, the competition in the white midfield is fierce. With players like Modric, Bellingham, Valverde, and Tchouaméni, Camavinga isn't always a starter. If City offers him a more important role, he might consider a change of scenery.
A signing that would shake the market
That Guardiola, a Barça legend, wants to sign Camavinga shows the great level of the Frenchman. His future remains in the air. However, if City decides to go all out, this could be one of the most important moves of the summer.
Real Madrid will have to make a decision: retain a player with great potential or accept a million-dollar offer. Whatever the outcome, Guardiola's interest has sparked a debate that promises to mark the transfer market.
