Manchester City is interested in signing Eduardo Camavinga, who is one of José Mourinho's rejects at Real Madrid, as reported by Matteo Moretto. The Manchester City transfer market promises to be one of the most active in European football.

Both European giants have held direct talks in recent hours to assess the conditions of a transfer that would shake up the summer market and has the full approval of the Portuguese coach at Real Madrid.

After being left out of the France squad due to an inconsistent campaign with Real Madrid, the midfielder's market value stands at around €50 million. However, the Chamartín board will not let him go for less than that amount, knowing that the English league has the ideal financial power to fund their rebuilding plans.

Manchester City Wants Eduardo Camavinga to Strengthen Their Midfield

The sales proposal came directly from the Madrid offices to the Etihad Stadium, where the Manchester City sports management carefully analyzes the fit of the French pivot. His great pace and physical power are highly valued qualities in the Premier League, making this opportunity an attractive deal.

The current English champion is in the process of reshaping its midfield. In fact, the club already made a splash in the transfer period just a few days ago by completing the signing of British international Elliot Anderson, a deal valued at a staggering €135 million.

Despite such a hefty outlay, the Manchester side continued to scout the continent. While keeping a close eye on Italian Sandro Tonali, the Newcastle midfielder will end up at Tottenham in a deal that will bring in over €100 million to the Magpies, forcing the Sky Blues to explore alternatives.

Beyond the option of Eduardo Camavinga, the British team is also keeping another pathway in French football, the emerging Franco-Moroccan talent Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille, who has been under the watchful eye of the coaching staff led by Enzo Maresca.

Negotiations for the Ligue 1 gem are advanced, and the clubs are discussing whether the player will make an immediate move to England under the Italian coach's orders or if he will be loaned back to his original club for an additional season to ensure his competitive development.

José Mourinho Seeks Funding for Two Priority Signings

For Real Madrid's ecosystem, parting ways with the former Rennes player is seen as an ideal strategic move. The Portuguese coach insists that his project still requires two crucial additions: a reliable playmaker for the midfield and a strong defender for the central axis.

The salary and financial margin that would be freed up by the departure of the midfielder to Manchester City would greatly facilitate the pursuit of these two top priorities. Those at Real Madrid know that the English league is the best stage for lucrative elite transfers.

To date, the exodus from Valdebebas has been quite substantial. Heavyweights like Dani Carvajal and David Alaba ended their respective contracts with the club, while Andalusian midfielder Dani Ceballos was granted the freedom to choose his destination independently.

These three institutional departures may soon be joined by other names from the defensive rotation. Both left-back Fran García and academy product Raúl Asencio are strong contenders to depart from Real Madrid before the transfer window shuts.

Eduardo Camavinga's destiny appears to be definitively moving away from Spain. His immediate future points to a move to Manchester City, a transaction that promises to shake up the strategic plans of both clubs and reshape the balance of power among Europe's elite.
