Newcastle are lining up a blockbuster move for Madrid midfielder, with Chelsea & Manchester United also interested.
PL giants Newcastle ready to splash the cash on Madrid midfielder
Newcastle is pushing the limits once again, this time circling Real Madrid’s 22-year-old midfield star Eduardo Camavinga. The player is valued at around €80m. He is attracting serious interest from PL clubs. The Magpies believe they can pull off the coup after cashing in on Alexander Isak for a record-breaking fee.
The timing makes sense for Eddie Howe’s side. The club needs more depth in the midfield. That said, Camavinga can offer energy, skill and defensive grit. He hasn’t nailed down a guaranteed starting spot under Xabi Alonso. So, that could open the door for a PL move. His addition would give Eddie Howe one of the most complete midfields in the PL.
Rivals lurking in the shadows
The big problem for Newcastle is competition. Manchester United and Chelsea are both firmly in the mix, and each has strong reasons to chase the Frenchman. Man Utd have struggled to control midfield battles, and the player would add stability, bite and creativity.
Meanwhile, Chelsea already have Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. But, adding the Madrid man would give them a trio capable of controlling games at the highest level. All three clubs can offer big money. For Camavinga, he needs regular game time and the chance to collect major trophies.
Newcastle’s project is ambitious, but Man Utd and Chelsea both carry huge history and big-stage appeal. Where he lands will say a lot about his priorities at this stage of his career.
Author’s Opinion:
Camavinga is an incredible talent, and whichever PL side gets him will raise their stakes instantly. Newcastle have the hunger, but the lure of trophies at Chelsea might prove too strong.
