The upcoming summer transfer window is already heating up at the Santiago Bernabeu, with reports suggesting that Real Madrid could face a monumental test of their resolve.
Al-Ittihad, the Saudi Pro League giants, have reportedly identified Eduardo Camavinga as their primary target to fill the void left by N’Golo Kante’s recent departure to Fenerbahce.
According to sources from 365scores, the Middle Eastern club is preparing a contract offer described as “astronomical” to tempt the French international away from the Spanish capital.
The timing of this interest comes during a period of transition for Alvaro Arbeloa’s midfield.
Following the exits of legends Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in previous seasons, the club has struggled to find a consistent rhythm in the center of the park.
While Camavinga has faced stiff competition from the likes of Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, he remains a vital component of the squad’s long-term identity, even as rumors of a new midfield signing continue to circulate.
Al-Ittihad Ready Astronomical Bid for Eduardo Camavinga
Despite the allure of a record-breaking salary and interest from Premier League side Liverpool, Real Madrid’s hierarchy appears unmoved.
The club’s leadership continues to place immense faith in the 23-year-old, viewing him as a cornerstone of the post-Modric era.
While he has not started every match this season, his versatility and technical ceiling are regarded as irreplaceable, making any potential sale highly unlikely regardless of the figures involved.
For Al-Ittihad, the pursuit of Camavinga represents an ambitious attempt to bring in a world-class successor to Kante, but they are expected to face a closed door in Madrid.
Unless the player himself forces a move—which seems improbable given his commitment to the “Merengues”—the Saudi side may be forced to look elsewhere.
As Real Madrid prepares for a busy summer of reinforcements, keeping their young stars out of the reach of the Saudi Pro League remains a top priority for Florentino Perez.
