Real Madrid midfielder returns early as he fights for Mourinho’s trust | OneFootball

The French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is one of the players with his future at Real Madrid highly uncertain. He has not been able to meet the expectations that the Merengue club had put on him when they signed him as a highly promising youngster from Rennes, and the club believes his growth has stunted in the last few years.

In fact, he was directly at fault as Los Blancos saw their UEFA Champions League hopes end last season. The Frenchman’s haggling with the ball for a couple of seconds after a whistle caused the referee to shown him a second yellow card in the quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich, which made it impossible for Real Madrid to compete in a highly demanding game.

As a result, he has been put on the market by the Madrid club, but the new coach Jose Mourinho would make a final decision about him. Meanwhile, the player looks committed to impress the new coach and continue at the Merengue club.

As SPORT has reported, citing the journalist Alvaro Esteban, a clear indication of this was his presence at Valdebebas on Friday, the same day as Mourinho visited the club facilities in the first day of his second stint as the Los Blancos’ manager. Thus, the Frenchman returned to train at the club a few days before the team is set to begin its preseason training, i.e., on Monday, 13th July.

The French midfielder also enjoys quite a lot of demand in the market. Big clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool have all been closely watching him lately.

For now, it remains to be seen how this gesture would influence Mourinho, who already sees him as a capable player, but one who needs guidance and continuity to realize his potential. The absence of important first team players can further facilitate Eduardo Camavinga, as it would  give him a chance to impress his new coach at the start of the preseason.
