Report: Liverpool considering double Real Madrid transfer raid this summer | OneFootball

Liverpool Eye €120m Real Madrid Double Raid

Fresh reports from Spanish media suggest Liverpool could attempt one of the most ambitious transfer manoeuvres of the upcoming window, with Eduardo Camavinga and Dean Huijsen both emerging as potential targets. The suggestion that two Real Madrid players might be prised away from the Bernabéu feels unusual in itself, given the Spanish club’s long standing gravitational pull in the transfer market.

Yet the latest Spanish reports indicate that circumstances may be shifting in Madrid, opening the door for Liverpool to explore opportunities that previously appeared closed.

Camavinga Situation Changing in Madrid

Eduardo Camavinga has long been admired at Anfield. Liverpool’s interest in the French midfielder stretches back to his teenage years at Rennes, and the club were among the sides beaten to his signature when Real Madrid secured the deal.

Recent reporting in Spain has now hinted that Camavinga may no longer be completely protected within Madrid’s squad planning. A journalist speaking to Marca suggested the midfielder is no longer ‘untouchable’ at the club, a description that immediately alters the tone surrounding his future.

Florentino Pérez is reportedly open to selling several players in order to raise significant funds. The aim, according to the reports, would be to recoup around €300m through potential departures including Camavinga.

Early speculation placed the French international’s valuation at €100m, though subsequent reports indicate Liverpool have been informed a fee closer to €50m could be enough to open negotiations.

Madrid’s preference appears to lean towards a swap involving Dominik Szoboszlai, though Liverpool would rather sign Camavinga outright.

Huijsen Emerges as Defensive Target

Alongside Camavinga, another name reportedly under consideration is Dean Huijsen.

The 20 year old centre back only arrived in Madrid last summer in a £50m deal, signing a five year contract that suggested he would be part of the club’s long term defensive planning. 

Spanish reports now claim Liverpool have ‘set their sights’ on Huijsen and are preparing a €70m offer to bring him back to the Premier League.

Such a move would represent a striking development given how recently the defender joined Madrid. Even within Spain there is acknowledgement that a sale after one season would be unexpected.

Yet Liverpool’s interest is not difficult to understand. Huijsen’s composure in possession and physical presence have already drawn comparisons with elite modern defenders.

Some within the Spanish press have suggested Madrid could be ‘tempted’ to cash in if the right offer arrived.

Liverpool’s Long Running Madrid Frustration

There is a certain narrative symmetry to these rumours.

Liverpool have repeatedly lost key transfer battles to Real Madrid in recent years. Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni both chose the Spanish giants ahead of other suitors. More recently, Trent Alexander Arnold ran down his contract before joining Madrid for just €10m last summer.

For Liverpool to now target two players currently wearing white would represent a rare reversal of that dynamic.

Whether either deal proves realistic remains uncertain. Real Madrid rarely sell players they consider central to their future.

For Liverpool supporters, the Camavinga link will instantly spark intrigue. Midfield has undergone a rebuild in recent seasons, yet Camavinga represents a different profile entirely. His ability to progress the ball, cover ground and dictate rhythm could elevate Liverpool’s midfield control.

If reports suggesting a €50m valuation are accurate, that price would immediately make the deal attractive. Players of Camavinga’s age and pedigree rarely become available for that figure.

Huijsen is a different conversation. Liverpool fans naturally think about succession planning for Virgil van Dijk. The Dutchman remains elite, but the club must think long term.

Huijsen’s technical quality and size make him an intriguing candidate. However, supporters will likely question whether Madrid would truly sell him after just one season.

There is also a broader context Liverpool fans will recognise. Real Madrid have often been the destination when elite players make career defining moves. The Alexander Arnold situation still lingers in the background for many supporters.

If Liverpool were able to land even one of these players it would feel like a small shift in that balance of power.

For now, fans will treat these rumours with cautious curiosity. Transfer speculation around Madrid often moves quickly, and just as quickly fades.

Still, the idea of Camavinga at Anfield is the sort of possibility that captures imagination across the fanbase.
