Liverpool Are Locked In A Three-Way Battle For This Real Madrid Talent: Dream Option For Slot? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes mentioned that Liverpool are locked in a three-way battle for Real Madrid talent Eduardo Camavinga. It has been claimed that the Reds would have to rival Arsenal and Chelsea in the race to land the French midfielder next year.

Camavinga’s Impressive Form In Spanish Football

The 22-year-old served as a decent presence in Real Madrid’s squad in the previous campaign when he put in a string of impressive displays for them in La Liga. Camavinga participated in 35 matches for Los Blancos last season, scoring two goals and earning two assists across all fronts.

The French midfield ace gave a good account of himself as he made 42 tackles, 24 blocks, 18 interceptions and 23 clearances in the Premier League. He was even tidy when distributing the ball from midfield after completing 88.3% of his attempted passes in the English top tier (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the Spanish club will run out in the summer of 2029. Thus, it won’t be easy for the Reds to get a deal done for Camavinga on the cheap next year.

Is Camavinga A Dream Option For Liverpool?

Camavinga is a solid tackler of the ball and can read the danger well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when needed and is a good passer of the ball as well.

The French sensation can strike the ball with power from long range and has got the vision to orchestrate a few inviting chances for his teammates in the final third. However, there are some concerns over whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League.

We can expect Camavinga to add more quality and depth to Liverpool boss Arne Slot’s defence. He has what it takes to fight for a regular starting place at the Merseyside club in the coming years.

At 22, Camavinga has got a bright future ahead of him, which makes him a dream option for the Reds to pursue in the long run. He might even help the Merseyside club compete for some major trophies in the future. Thus, Slot should consider stepping up his efforts to sign him next year.
