After Enzo Maresca’s arrival, Manchester City are looking to bolster their squad to compete for the Premier League title once again.
The Cityzens have moved quickly to snap up Eliott Anderson, who is set to join the club from Nottingham Forest.
Manchester City have also been linked with a move for Eduardo Camavinga, who has struggled at Real Madrid in recent seasons.
And now, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the Frenchman’s situation as speculation surrounding his future continues to dominate the back pages.
Camavinga doesn’t want to leave Real Madrid
Yesterday, Marca reported that Manchester City held ‘direct talks’ with the midfielder after being offered the chance to sign him.
And now, Romano confirmed on his YouTube channel that he doesn’t want to leave the Spanish capital, although Real Madrid aren’t against his departure.
“Eduardo Camavinga has a very clear intention, and he communicated that to his agents. He wants to stay at Real Madrid.
“He believes he has been unlucky last season because obviously it’s been poor.
“He understands that was not at Real Madrid level, but at the same time, the red card in Munich, some bad moments in LaLiga, the injury and so not going to the World Cup.
“So, in several things, Camavinga had problems, but Camavinga wants to stay, wants to fight for his place and wants to try to convince Jose Mourinho.
“Then the reality is that Real Madrid would be open to selling Camavinga. So, if Real Madrid receive a proposal, Real Madrid (will) open doors to the exit of Camavinga.
“But the point is that the player doesn’t want to go. So, there are two ways here. One – Camavinga ends up staying, fighting for his place and trying to convince Mourinho, or Real Madrid decided to go to Camavinga and say, okay, find a new club because we don’t want you here.”
“At the moment on Manchester City, I don’t have a confirmation about any proposal or any advanced negotiation.
“It’s just something that Manchester City know that Real Madrid could open doors to the exit of Camavinga and Manchester City are opening to the possibility of signing one more midfielder after Elliot Anderson, but, at the moment, that’s the situation around Camavinga.
“(It) depends on the player. We have to understand if Camavinga, at some point of the window, there are eight weeks of the summer transfer window, if at some point, decides to go and decides to open doors or not.”
