Eduardo Camavinga, a 23-year-old midfielder and currently a player for Real Madrid, faces a decisive preseason after starting against Alcorcón, Leganés, and Fiorentina. José Mourinho has granted him minutes to regain prominence, but the arrival of new competitors may reduce his playing time before the start of LaLiga.

The Frenchman has not yet been instructed to seek an exit and remains under contract until June 30, 2029. However, his situation could change if the club completes the signing of Rodri Hernández, an operation that would add another midfielder to a position with several alternatives.

Eduardo Camavinga fails to seize his initial opportunities

Camavinga started in the first three summer friendlies. He played over two hours between the matches against Alcorcón and Leganés before completing 90 minutes against Fiorentina, a game that ended in a 2-2 draw.

The midfielder contributed to Real Madrid's second goal with an assist to Alexis Ciria. However, his performance was marred by mistakes in ball control and circulation, crucial aspects for Mourinho's double pivot system.

The coach has taken advantage of the absence of several internationals to assess the Frenchman from the start. Camavinga arrived for preseason after training during the summer, but his early performances have not yet altered the expected midfield hierarchy.

His previous season also influences this assessment. The player lacked consistency throughout the season and missed out on France's World Cup squad, making these weeks his first chance to regain ground under José Mourinho.

Real Madrid increases competition in midfield

The arrival of Bernardo Silva narrows the space available for Eduardo Camavinga. The Portuguese can operate on the right wing but also in a central position or as part of a double pivot during the build-up.

Aurélien Tchouaméni will gradually join after reaching the latter stages of the World Cup. The French international is ahead of Camavinga to play as a defensive midfielder when the squad is at full strength.

Real Madrid is also pursuing Rodri Hernández. The Manchester City player is sought to enhance the midfield, although there is no agreement yet to guarantee his arrival in this transfer window.

If Rodri arrives, Mourinho will have Tchouaméni, Bernardo Silva, Camavinga, and other midfielders to allocate playing time. This accumulation might lead the club and the Frenchman to reassess their situation before the market closes.

José Mourinho still has more tests ahead

Camavinga still has room to alter his position within the squad. The preseason has just begun, and the coaching staff needs to evaluate the team with all internationals available before defining roles for the start of LaLiga.

The contract until 2029 enables the club to control any decision and avoids the need to sell him due to contractual reasons. There is also no formal offer for the player, so a potential exit would depend on the emergence of a buyer and subsequent authorization from Real Madrid.

The upcoming friendlies will determine if Eduardo Camavinga manages to secure a spot in José Mourinho's rotation. Should Tchouaméni reclaim his starting position and Real Madrid complete Rodri's signing, the Frenchman will need to decide before the market closes whether to accept a secondary role or consider an exit.
