Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing 22-year-old French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Newcastle United are plotting a €70 million move for Real Madrid utility man Eduardo Camavinga. However, a deal for the French international seems unlikely.

Real Madrid are unwilling to let the player move on, as they have been for a long time. Camavinga has been a useful player for Real Madrid since joining the club. The Frenchman’s ability to slot into multiple roles makes him an asset for the club.

Real Madrid will be hoping to fight for major trophies, and they cannot afford to lose a utility man like him. The 22-year-old is still quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a future star for Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United are looking to build a formidable squad for the future, and they need elite talents. The French international would have been an exceptional addition for them. Camavinga could have formed a solid partnership with Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali at the heart of their midfield.

Newcastle United managed to win the EFL Cup last season, and they will look to fight for major trophies now. They need quality players in order for that to happen. Signing Camavinga would have been a major coup for them.

It will be interesting to see if they decide to test the resolve of the Spanish club with a lucrative proposal in the coming months. They are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world and they have the resources to pay a premium for Camavinga.

Camavinga move will be tricky

Meanwhile, convincing the French midfielder to join the club will be tricky as well. Camavinga is playing for the biggest club in the world, and he will want to fight for major trophies regularly. Newcastle United have an exciting project but they are not quite at the level required to fight for league titles or the UEFA Champions League. They will find it difficult to convince elite players to join the club.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Meanwhile, the Frenchman will be hoping for regular opportunities at Real Madrid. He is not a guaranteed starter at the Spanish club, and Los Blancos will have to find a way to accommodate him in the starting lineup more often.
