La Liga
Eduardo Camavinga, a 23-year-old French midfielder, emerges as the leading candidate to depart from being a Real Madrid player during this summer transfer window. The club is considering a sale between 60 and 70 million euros to create financial space after the arrival of Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig.
The pending deal for Diomande could rise to 115-120 million euros after the German club rejected an initial proposal of 90 million fixed and 10 in variables. This outlay compels Madrid to balance their accounts before pursuing further signings.
Eduardo Camavinga loses weight in José Mourinho's plans
The sporting situation of Eduardo Camavinga has altered after a season where he only featured in 43% of available minutes. His reduced involvement also led to him missing out on the call-up for the 2026 World Cup with France.
The player's performance has sparked discussion within the club regarding his continuity. In a midfield boasting Fede Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Arda Güler, Camavinga is seen as the most feasible midfielder to offload due to his age, value, and market potential.
José Mourinho will assess the Frenchman during preseason, although the sporting management is open to listening to offers. The coach wants to observe his progress in the initial weeks of training before making a definitive decision on his role within the squad.
The issue for Real Madrid lies in the player's stance. Camavinga currently has no intention of leaving the Santiago Bernabéu and aims to compete to regain his spot. This decision could hinder a crucial sale that the club deems necessary to keep reshaping the team.

Real Madrid needs to earn between 60 and 70 million
The Madrid entity believes that selling Eduardo Camavinga could fetch between 60 and 70 million euros. Some reports suggest the player's minimum valuation stands at 70 million, but there is yet no formal offer matching that figure.
His departure would help offset part of Diomande's cost and alleviate the burden on a squad that might undergo further changes. The 19-year-old winger recorded 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 matches last season with RB Leipzig, figures justifying Madrid's planned investment.
The move also aligns with José Mourinho's strategy, seeking speed, creativity, and offensive output from the flanks. Diomande's arrival would mark one of the club's most significant operations and could set the tone for subsequent negotiations.
Preventing further signings
Registering new players isn't the sole factor. Madrid also needs to free up spaces and redistribute minutes before the start of LaLiga, particularly in a midfield already rich in options.
The next steps depend on the offers coming in over the upcoming weeks. Eduardo Camavinga will continue training with the team as Real Madrid anticipates an offer close to 70 million euros to kickstart new transactions before the transfer window closes.
