"The Reds" Liverpool are reportedly close to signing a World Cup runner-up player to boost their squad for just 50 million euros.
Spanish media outlet Marca reported that Liverpool, the Premier League giant, may acquire Eduardo Camavinga, the French national team midfielder and 2022 World Cup runner-up from Real Madrid, for only 50 million euros to join Anfield.
It is believed that Liverpool is planning a major midfield overhaul this summer, especially with the futures of Dominic Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Curtis Jones still uncertain. Even Wataru Endo is likely to leave, so a new midfielder is expected to be brought in to replace any departing players.
The latest report states that Eduardo Camavinga, a world-class Real Madrid midfielder and two-time Champions League winner, is a favorite of Michael Edwards, the club's head of football operations, and the recruitment team, who have wanted to sign him since his early days at Rennes.
Although Real Madrid had been hesitant to sell Camavinga in the past, the Spanish La Liga giant is now willing to consider offers of 50 million euros or more this summer. This price for a player of Camavinga's caliber would be a highly worthwhile reinforcement for Liverpool.
Camavinga is a world-class midfielder who would bring energy and intensity to Liverpool's midfield, which they currently lack. At just 23 years old, he is versatile and capable of playing multiple midfield positions, including left-back.
