Manchester United plot surprise move to sign Real Madrid star but face major stumbling block - Reports
Manchester United are reportedly plotting a surprise move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. As reported by Bernabeu Digital, Ruben Amorim wants the versatile Frenchman to bolster the squad he inherited at Old Trafford.
Camavinga has been an important player for Los Blancos since joining in 2021 from Rennes in a deal worth a reported £34.4 million. Although he is predominantly a central midfielder, Carlo Ancelotti has used him in various positions across the pitch.
At just 22, Camavinga is already a key player for Real Madrid and has what it takes to become one of the best midfielders on the planet. He has made 152 appearances for the club so far, scoring twice and producing nine assists.
Capped 24 times for France already, he has also found the back of the net twice for Les Bleus while producing one assist. The young midfielder has already won 10 trophies during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu while helping his nation to a runners-up finish at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
It has been claimed that Manchester United are prepared to back their new manager Ruben Amorim with big signings. And, the former Sporting CP manager is believed to be keen on the signing of Camavinga.
However, the Frenchman reportedly has no interest in quitting the Santiago Bernabeu for Manchester United. The midfield dynamo wants to stay at Real Madrid for the foreseeable future and become an undisputed starter.
Manchester United set to battle Real Madrid for Premier League star: Reports
Manchester United and Real Madrid are reportedly set to go head-to-head for the signature of Tottenham Hotspur full-back Pedro Porro. As claimed by Spanish outlet Fichajes.net, both sides are keen on the creative full-back to bolster their squad.
Both Real Madrid and Manchester United need reinforcements at right-back. Los Blancos are missing Dani Carvajal with a long-term injury, while the Red Devils could also use Porro.
With Ruben Amorim's arrival, United will receive a major boost if they can land the Spain international. Porro made 98 appearances for Sporting CP under the Portuguese manager, scoring 12 goals and providing 20 assists.
Porro joined Tottenham Hotspur from Sporting CP in the summer of 2023 in a deal worth a reported €40 million. It has been claimed that the Lilywhites would demand at least €70 million to part ways with the 25-year-old. The Spaniard has so far made 68 appearances for Ange Postecoglou's side, contributing with nine goals and 12 assists.
