Arsenal eye swoop for €60 million-rated Real Madrid midfield star – report | OneFootball

Over the past few weeks, Arsenal have been linked with multiple Real Madrid players.

Rodrygo, for one, has emerged as a key target for the Premier League giants this summer amid question marks over his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

More recently, there have also been murmurs of interest in versatile attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz, who might find it hard to play regularly in the new season due to competition for places.

Eduardo Camavinga also on Arsenal’s radar

Now, according to a report from Defensa Central, Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has popped on the radars of Arsenal.

Indeed, the Gunners are now in the market for a midfielder amidst news of the unexpected departure of Thomas Partey, who the club initially believed would renew his contract.

And, manager Mikel Arteta is very interested in Camavinga. Arsenal believe that they might be able to sign him from Real Madrid for under €50 million after an inconsistent season bogged down by injuries.

This is not the first time Arsenal have shown interest in Camavinga. They have been tracking him for several years. Both he and Aurélien Tchouameni are highly regarded by the Premier League side and would fit into their long-term project.

Not for sale

However, Real Madrid have no intention of selling Camavinga this summer. The Merengues see him and Tchouameni as the two key pillars in the defensive midfield role and are not open to parting ways with either of them.

While neither has yet reached their peak, both are seen as having the potential to become the best in the world in their position. Inside the club, there is confidence that under Xabi Alonso, they will improve tactically.

Camavinga is now close to returning to action after spending a period out with injury. He has dealt with several physical issues in recent seasons, which has raised concern within the club.

The expectation is that, with new training methods under the new staff, he will gain more consistency and avoid further setbacks.
