Rain of millions for Real Madrid! Eduardo Camavinga asks his friend to accept

The situation of Eduardo Camavinga at Real Madrid is starting to become truly concerning. He arrived at Bernabéu as a young prospect and with unique qualities to become the best defensive midfielder in the world. In his first appearances, he showed a maturity beyond his years, immediately justifying the €30 million the club paid Rennes.

As the seasons have gone by, however, a problem has emerged that at the elite level weighs as much as quality: physical fragility. Eduardo Camavinga has suffered a string of muscle issues and minor injuries that have abruptly halted any attempt at continuity. For a player who relies on intensity, aggressive pressing, and constant energy, this detail is absolutely crucial.

Eduardo Camavinga's data show something is happening

Last season is the best example of this. Eduardo Camavinga was sidelined for 159 days (159 días) due to various physical issues, a figure that forced the coaching staff to learn to live without him for much of the season. In total, he missed 37 matches, nearly half the campaign, something unsustainable for a footballer expected to be a structural piece.

What is most concerning for Real Madrid is that this season is following the same path. It's still November and Camavinga has already been out for 37 days (37 días) from the field, missing 6 official games. These aren't mere anecdotes, but a pattern that is starting to affect sporting planning and the hierarchy in midfield.

In this context, his chances of being a regular starter at Real Madrid are drastically decreasing. Xabi Alonso needs physical reliability in the holding midfielder position, an area where continuity and match rhythm are decisive. That's where his close friend, Aurélien Tchouaméni, comes into play.

Eduardo Camavinga depends on Aurélien Tchouaméni

The "14" has become indispensable for Xabi Alonso. He is the anchor of the system, the piece that balances the team, corrects his teammates, and provides the first clean outlet from the back. Whenever he is available, Aurélien Tchouaméni is the chosen one, and that leaves Eduardo Camavinga in a luxury supporting role.

Paradoxically, Camavinga's great hope for regaining prominence doesn't depend on his own performance, but on the market. In recent hours, Manchester United has made a strong move with a €90 million offer to sign Aurélien Tchouaméni. It's a true downpour of millions that, financially, could be tempting even for a club like the Whites.

From Camavinga's perspective, the equation is clear. If his friend and direct competitor for the position leaves for Manchester United, the path to a starting spot would be much clearer. It's no secret that the "6" would like the club to consider selling Tchouaméni so he can take command of the midfield.

Real Madrid are very clear: Aurélien Tchouaméni is staying

Despite Eduardo Camavinga's desire, the reality in the Bernabéu offices is heading in a very different direction. The club's top brass consider Aurélien Tchouaméni a strategic piece of the project and the holding midfielder on whom to build the next decade. Neither €90 million nor a slightly higher figure seem capable of changing that conviction.

For Real Madrid, Manchester United's offer is a compliment, but not a real temptation. First, because from a sporting perspective they would lose their defensive reference, and second, because the market offers very few alternatives at that level to replace him. In that scenario, the logical thing for the club is to secure Aurélien Tchouaméni and accept that Eduardo Camavinga will have to accept his role.
