Galatasaray ‘to explore’ January loan for Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga | OneFootball

Galatasaray are exploring a January move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, with a loan plus option to buy being assessed, according to Fotomac.

After a summer that brought in Victor Osimhen and Rafael Leão, the club want to further upgrade their midfield for the second half of the season.

The 23-year-old France international remains under contract at the Santiago Bernabéu but has faced fierce competition in Jose Mourinho’s rotation. With Bernardo Silva, Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni prominent in central areas, his starts have been limited early in the campaign.

Galatasaray hope to offer guaranteed starts, European football and a central role in Okan Buruk’s set-up. Buruk is prioritising a dynamic box-to-box presence alongside Gabriel Sara to add ball-carrying and physicality in transition.

Madrid are typically reluctant to approve winter exits for key squad members, so any deal would hinge on favourable conditions. Even so, Galatasaray are banking on established links with Spanish intermediaries to make a January move viable.
