Manchester United are preparing a major move in the final days of the transfer window as manager Ruben Amorim has identified Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga as his top target.
The Red Devils have already strengthened significantly this summer, but Amorim is determined to add a central midfielder who can elevate his system and provide both defensive stability and attacking balance. Camavinga, only 22 years old, has emerged as the ideal candidate thanks to his versatility, intensity, and tactical intelligence.
The French international has been a standout performer since joining Real Madrid in 2021, operating not only as a central midfielder but also as a defensive midfielder and even at left-back when required. Known for his composure under pressure, strong tackling, and ability to progress play, he has developed into one of the most exciting young talents in world football.
Despite his age, Camavinga has already built an impressive trophy collection with Los Blancos. His honours include two UEFA Champions League titles, La Liga, Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. Such pedigree makes him an attractive option for any top club, and Amorim believes his qualities are exactly what Manchester United need as they chase success at home and in Europe.
Reports indicate United are weighing up an €80 million bid, a figure Real Madrid would consider before making a final decision. The Spanish giants remain reluctant to part ways with the midfielder, but recurring injury concerns could play a role in shaping the outcome. Camavinga missed the league opener this season due to an ankle issue and endured five different injuries last campaign, limiting him to 19 La Liga appearances, only 11 of which were starts.
Madrid coach Xabi Alonso values the Frenchman highly, yet the club’s willingness to listen to offers suggests a big-money deal cannot be ruled out. For United, securing Camavinga would not only strengthen their midfield but also signal a serious statement of intent under Amorim’s leadership.
In addition to Camavinga, United are also monitoring Brighton’s Carlos Baleba and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, though both clubs are resisting approaches. Still, the primary focus remains on landing the Real Madrid star before the transfer window closes.
