The European football transfer market is heating up with reports that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is willing to spend €80 million to sign midfielder Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid, according to a report from Fichajes. The French team views the 22-year-old as an ideal midfielder, thanks to his energy, flexibility, and leadership potential. With Fabian Ruiz potentially leaving the team, PSG has considered Camavinga a prime candidate to play a leadership role in the future. However, this deal faces a major obstacle from Real Madrid, as the team has no intention of letting their young star leave.
Camavinga, who joined Real Madrid from Stade Rennais in 2021, quickly cemented his position at the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite playing only 2,020 minutes during the 2024/2025 season due to injury, he appeared in nearly 200 matches, scoring four goals and providing 10 assists. Camavinga’s versatility, able to play as a defensive or left midfielder, made him a valuable asset for Los Blancos. However, a left-footed muscle injury in Getafe’s 1-0 win in April 2025 sidelined him until the end of the season, sparking rumors about the Frenchman’s future.
According to Fichajes, PSG believes this is the opportunity to convince Real Madrid, as Camavinga recovers from injuries and the Spanish team may need capital to invest in other targets. However, Real Madrid quickly extinguished PSG’s hopes. With a contract until 2029 and a €1 billion commitment, Camavinga is considered “untouchable.” The Real Madrid board, under coach Carlo Ancelotti, saw him as a pillar in their long-term plan, especially after the departure of Toni Kroos and the age of Luka Modric. An article on X by @365Scores pointed out: “Camavinga is a gem, why would Real Madrid sell him for €80 million? The answer is no.”
The fan community is also discussing this deal. Some comments on X, such as from @efminfofoot, have argued that PSG is trying to take advantage of Camavinga’s injury situation, but most believe Real Madrid will not back down. This incident highlights the fierce competition between European giants in the hunt for young talent. PSG’s pursuit of Camavinga demonstrates their ambition to build a Ligue 1 and Champions League-dominant team. However, with Real Madrid’s unwavering stance, the likelihood of this deal succeeding is very low. Fans will continue to wait for further developments as the 2025 summer transfer window approaches.
