Real Madrid midfielder has no intention to leave the club; wants to convince Mourinho | OneFootball

Heading into the new season, Eduardo Camavinga has attracted a lot of eyeballs, especially after enduring a difficult campaign last term.

The Frenchman was one of the least-performing midfielders in a season that saw Real Madrid go trophyless once again.

Naturally, there was a lot of pressure on Camavinga, with many fans even calling for his departure in order to fund move for new midfielders.

However, Camavinga has no desire to leave Real Madrid anytime soon and wants to fight for his place in the team, according to a report from Diario AS.

The former Rennes starlet wants to prove Jose Mourinho his worth, having been subjected to much criticism even from Real Madrid supporters.

The club, for its part, are not opposed to selling Camavinga this summer. But the player remains steadfast in his bid to stay and impress Mourinho.

This is despite the fact that Real Madrid are openly searching for a new midfielder this summer, having missed out on Rodri.

Thankfully for Camavinga, the Frenchman has received some much-needed support from none other than Vinicius Jr.

The Brazilian international, who has recently renewed his contract, has reacted to critics online by posting a photo with Camavinga with the ‘general’ emoji.

The report even highlights how Vinicius’ aura inside the dressing room has changed and as one of the leaders in the team, he is looking to back everyone up.

This is a breath of fresh air for Camavinga, who is gearing up for perhaps his most important season at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid, after all, have been ruthless with their sales so far and are expected to sanction the departure of many youth players this summer.

It remains to be seen if Camavinga is among the list of players leaving the Bernabeu by the end of the summer transfer window.
