Reds Look to Capitalize on Bernabéu Instability to Land French Star
Liverpool are reportedly on high alert as they monitor the fallout of Xabi Alonso’s departure from Real Madrid. According to reports from Anfield Watch and TEAMtalk, the Merseyside giants are looking to capitalize on the current uncertainty in Madrid to finally land long-term target Eduardo Camavinga.
The French midfielder, known for his incredible work rate and technical ability, has been on Liverpool’s radar since his time at Rennes. With the coaching change at the Bernabéu, the Reds’ hierarchy is reportedly in “constant contact” with the player’s representatives to gauge his interest in a Premier League switch.
The €92 Million Price Tag
While Camavinga is a dream signing for Arne Slot, prising him away from the Spanish capital won’t be easy:
- Contract Status: His current deal runs until June 2029, giving Real Madrid massive leverage.
- Valuation: Although valued at €50 million by Transfermarkt, sources suggest Real Madrid will not entertain offers below €92 million.
- Timeline: A January move is ruled out, but Liverpool are laying the groundwork for a massive summer offensive.
Battle for the “Next Big Thing”: Kees Smit
The rivalry between Liverpool and Real Madrid extends beyond established stars. Both clubs are reportedly locked in a battle for AZ Alkmaar’s teenage sensation Kees Smit. The Dutch midfielder is regarded as one of Europe’s brightest prospects, and Liverpool hope their Dutch connection led by manager Arne Slot could give them the edge over the Spanish giants.
Camavinga’s 2025/26 Campaign:
- Appearances: 20
- Goals/Assists: 2 Goals, 1 Assist
- Role: A key pillar in Madrid’s transition, having been at the club since 2021.
