Newcastle United will unlikely sign 22-year-old French international Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid in the final days of the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Eduardo Camavinga is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies are eager to bolster their midfield unit by signing a versatile midfielder in the final days of the summer transfer window. So, the Real Madrid utility man has emerged as a target for the Tyneside outfit.

The 2024/25 EFL Cup winners have presented a bid worth €50 million to secure the Frenchman’s services, with the proposal including a base fee of €40 million and €10 million in add-ons. However, Real Madrid will not part ways with the young midfielder in the summer transfer window.

Eduardo Camavinga and his Real Madrid journey so far

Eduardo Camavinga has made considerable progress since joining Real Madrid from Stade Rennais in a deal worth €40 million, including add-ons, in August 2021. The 22-year-old has been a utility man for Los Blancos as he can reprise any role in the middle of the park and play as a left-back. The youngster has made 180 appearances thus far for Real Madrid while chipping in with four goals and ten assists.

Meanwhile, Camavinga’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the French international, with Newcastle United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the final days of the summer transfer window.

Premier League move on the horizon?

Newcastle United’s interest in Eduardo Camavinga is surprising. The Magpies have already reinforced their midfield unit by signing Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa. While the Englishman can play a more advanced role, Eddie Howe has a stacked midfield unit.

Nevertheless, Camavinga is a market opportunity, making him an appealing target for Newcastle United. The 2024/25 EFL Cup winners have wasted no time in launching an offensive to sign the 22-year-old Frenchman, submitting a bid worth €50 million, including €40 million as a base fee and €10 million in add-ons.

However, Real Madrid will not part ways with Camavinga in the final days of the summer transfer window. So, Newcastle United must look elsewhere for a midfield reinforcement in the coming days, and recent reports have linked them with Barcelona playmaker Fermin Lopez.
