Surprising transfer rumour: BVB approached Real star

According to reports from Spain, Borussia Dortmund have registered their interest in Eduardo Camavinga. Real Madrid are said to have given a clear response regarding a sale of the French midfield star.

Borussia Dortmund are continuing to work intensively on their squad for the coming season – and have apparently even made an inquiry about a Real Madrid star. As Spanish journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon reports, BVB recently asked about Eduardo Camavinga. However, the response from Los Blancos was unequivocal: the French international is currently not for sale.

Dortmund’s interest is hardly surprising, though. Sporting director Ole Book recently announced that he wants to add reinforcements in central midfield. With his versatility, Camavinga would fit that profile perfectly. The 23-year-old can play both in central and defensive midfield and, despite some difficult months recently, is still considered one of Europe’s most talented midfielders.

However, the season that just ended did not go as Camavinga had hoped at Real Madrid. He made around 40 competitive appearances, but was only rarely a regular in the starting XI. He recorded two goals and one assist.

Camavinga also recently suffered a setback with the French national team. National coach Didier Deschamps surprisingly left the midfielder out of the World Cup squad. Even so, Camavinga apparently continues to enjoy great trust in Madrid. The former Rennes player is still under contract with Los Blancos until 2029 and has already won the Champions League twice with Real. In the 2024 final against Borussia Dortmund, he even played the full match.

According to Ramón Álvarez de Mon, the unresolved coaching situation at Real Madrid could also be playing a role. After a disappointing season, the Spaniards apparently first want to clarify the succession on the bench before making decisions on possible transfers.

A move to Dortmund for Camavinga still appears hard to imagine at the moment. In addition to the clear rejection from Madrid, the high transfer fee and wage demands are likely to be a major obstacle above all. Nevertheless, BVB’s inquiry shows that the Black and Yellows are pursuing ambitious targets on the transfer market.
