Premier League
Chelsea has set its sights on Eduardo Camavinga as one of the main targets for the upcoming summer market in 2026.
The English club, under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, aims to strengthen its midfield with a top-level signing to complement Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo, two players who are already part of the team's strategic core.
Chelsea's Objective with Camavinga
Maresca's project aims to solidify a trio in midfield capable of competing in the Premier League and the Champions League. The idea is for Camavinga to contribute with his ability to recover the ball, physical presence, and clean ball distribution, qualities he has already demonstrated during his seasons with Real Madrid.
Although his contract with the Madrid team expires in 2029, the Frenchman is currently not in his best form at the Santiago Bernabéu. The arrival of Xabi Alonso to the bench has raised doubts about his future, as he has not yet had official minutes under the Spanish coach due to a lingering injury from the previous season.

Since joining Real Madrid in 2021 from Rennes for 30 million euros, Camavinga has played 180 official matches, scoring 4 goals and providing 10 assists. His versatility, being able to play as a defensive midfielder or interior player, made him a valuable asset for previous coaches, although his current role appears less defined under the new coaching staff.
The market value of the 23-year-old midfielder is around 60 million euros, double what Real Madrid paid for his transfer. This is a figure that Chelsea is willing to pay to secure a player with potential and experience in top competitions.
Real Madrid's Stance
At Real Madrid's board, they believe that a significant sale could pave the way for new midfield acquisitions, where Tchouaméni is seen as the leader in Alonso's double pivot. If an offer close to 60 million arises, the club would not be averse to negotiating his departure.
Strategic Move by Chelsea?
Signing Camavinga would have a dual impact. In sporting terms, it would add a player with experience in European finals and room for growth. Strategically, it would send a clear message of ambition, bringing together three world-class midfielders at Stamford Bridge.
The summer of 2026 could be a turning point for both Chelsea's future and Eduardo Camavinga's career, caught between revitalizing his role at another club or fighting for a place in Xabi Alonso's new Real Madrid.
