Real Madrid eyeing up Bayern duo as Camavinga is set to return to his natural position next season
Eduardo Camavinga, despite being a natural midfielder, has performed admirably as Real Madrid's starting left back in 2023. He has impressed with a string of excellent performances in that position. However, during the Champions League semi-final second leg defeat to Manchester City, Camavinga was exposed significantly, particularly by Bernardo Silva, who managed to score twice against him. This poor performance seems to have had an impact on Camavinga's mindset, as he reportedly expressed to Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's manager, that he no longer wants to play as a left back.
According to SPORT1, it seems that Camavinga's wish to move back into midfield will be granted. Real Madrid is planning to return him to his natural position in the team. In addition to this positional change, Real Madrid is also looking to strengthen their left-back options in the transfer market. They have shown interest in the Bayern Munich duo of Joao Cancelo and Alphonso Davies, both of whom have been linked with a move to the Spanish capital throughout the year.
However, Bayern Munich has declared that Davies is not for sale, which has frustrated Real Madrid's sporting director, Juni Calafat, and the club as a whole. While Fran Garcia is expected to rejoin Real Madrid in the summer, the potential departure of Ferland Mendy, their current left back, may force the club to explore the transfer market further for a suitable replacement.
Real Madrid's pursuit of Cancelo and Davies suggests their determination to strengthen their left-back position and provide competition for Camavinga once he returns to midfield. The club is known for its ambition and desire to assemble a formidable squad capable of challenging for major titles. As the transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see how Real Madrid navigates their pursuit of new fullback options and manages Camavinga's transition back to midfield, ensuring they have a well-balanced and competitive team for the upcoming season.
