"They love him" - Liverpool have done a lot of work on midfielder transfer, claims source | OneFootball

Liverpool have reportedly done a lot of work on a potential transfer deal for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.

The France international’s future at the Bernabeu is in some doubt this summer, and we’ve recently been informed about him being offered to Arsenal, while Liverpool also hold an interest.

Now there’s been another update, with sources telling TEAMtalk that Liverpool “love” Camavinga and have already done a lot of work on potentially bringing him to Anfield.

Their source is quoted as saying: “Listen, keep an eye on Camavinga and Liverpool, they love him. As a player, but also his character – they have already done a lot of background work on him.”

Eduardo Camavinga to Liverpool in swap deal?

The report from TEAMtalk also suggests there could be a pathway towards a swap deal involving Camavinga and Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.

The Spanish giants are said to be fans of the Reds ace, and it could suit both clubs to exchange these players this summer.

LFC have had defensive problems all season, so might benefit from a stronger and more hard-working player like Camavinga to protect their back four.

Madrid, meanwhile, are perhaps still lacking a creative passer to replace legendary duo Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, with Mac Allister fitting that profile a bit more.

More on Liverpool’s midfield

As well as the potential signing of Camavinga and the possible sale of Mac Allister, TEAMtalk report that Liverpool are making it a priority to give Dominik Szoboszlai a new contract.

The Hungary international has arguably been Liverpool’s best player this season, so keeping him is surely crucial for the club’s future.

If Liverpool can tie down Szoboszlai and strengthen the midfield players supporting him, then they could be in much better shape next season.
