He's not Real Madrid level, it's becoming increasingly clear. Eduardo Camavinga is much better.

Real Madrid's midfield is undergoing a transition in which Camavinga is gaining ground and another is moving away from the starting line-up

The midfield of Real Madrid is currently the area that generates the most interest within the board. Florentino Pérez and his team consider it essential to reinforce the center of the field to compete at the highest level. After analyzing the market, the club's initial idea was for Dani Ceballos to take on that role.

Ceballos is the only midfielder in the squad with a refined touch and enough clarity to bring purpose to plays. After Modric and Kroos's departures, his presence was supposed to be a relief for Xabi Alonso. However, his performance is far from the desired level.

Dani Ceballos doesn't convince and doubts grow

Despite the opportunities he has received, Dani Ceballos hasn't managed to convince either the board or the coach. His appearances have lacked continuity and he hasn't managed to establish a reliable version. Each match raises more doubts about his real ability to support Real Madrid.

For this reason, the club is eagerly awaiting greater consistency from Eduardo Camavinga. The Frenchman represents an alternative with physicality, energy, and a much higher growth margin. His profile fits better with the current demands of Real Madrid.

Eduardo Camavinga, the bet for present and future

Camavinga arrived from Rennes at just 18 years old as one of the great prospects on the European scene. Today, at 23 years old, he remains a standout player but has been held back by recurring physical issues. That lack of continuity has prevented him from establishing himself as an undisputed starter.

Despite this, Real Madrid has never considered selling him and won't do so in the future. The board sees him as the main bet to dominate the midfield in the coming years. His talent, youth, and ability to interpret several positions consolidate him as the ideal midfielder.

The future looks white for Camavinga

Ceballos, on the other hand, sees his space shrinking in the face of growing competition. His inconsistency contrasts with Camavinga's evident potential, who can become the leader of the engine room. If injuries respect him, he will end up establishing himself as an undisputed starter.

Real Madrid needs a midfield with vigor, presence, and rhythm. Camavinga offers all that with room for improvement. His profile is far above Ceballos's in intensity, reading, and projection. For this reason, it's increasingly clear that Eduardo Camavinga will be the one to shape the team's future.
