Jose Mourinho steers the ship at Real Madrid and then there is always a bit of chaos, both of the good and the not so good kind. “The Portuguese manager has the ability to change his mind, just like he did with Andreas Schjelderup at Benfica. From being almost “out in the cold”, the Norwegian left winger became one of his most important players.
It could easily go the other way and it should be something Eduardo Camavinga definitely has in the back of his mind, even if things are positive right now.

Manchester United have not forgotten Eduardo Camavinga even though it may seem so.
The French star is a market opportunity the Red Devils are desperate to exploit this summer.
– Contacted the agent already in July
Manchester United are maintaining interest in Eduardo Camavinga – the 23-year-old from Real Madrid – in this transfer window. The Frenchman remains one of the most sought-after players on the market.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano , the British club contacted the agent of the France international back in July to inquire about his availability. Real Madrid are supposedly willing to sell for €40 million – but Camavinga has a clear answer:
He wants to stay in Spain.
United’s desperate need – and why Lewis-Skelly was scrapped
According to The Athletic , Manchester United are looking for a versatile player who can both play in midfield and step in as a left-back to challenge Luke Shaw.
The management at Old Trafford considered signing Myles Lewis-Skelly from Arsenal – who was offered for €53 million – but chose to focus on the Real Madrid player instead.
United want to upgrade their midfield, but the transfer is at a standstill. Camavinga has a contract at Madrid until June 2029 – and has made it crystal clear that he is not considering a change of club in this window.
Therefore, he wants to stay – despite Real Madrid being willing to sell
Although Real Madrid are open to selling the midfielder for €40 million, Camavinga has made it clear to all suitors that he wants to stay.
When Rodri’s transfer to Real Madrid failed, it only increased the Frenchman’s motivation. He now sees a golden opportunity to play a pivotal role under Jose Mourinho this season.
Camavinga has repeatedly assured United management that he will remain in the white shirt for the 2026/2027 season. Without the player’s approval, discussions between the clubs have stalled in recent weeks.
Deadline: August 20
Manchester United’s management will consider during the third week of August whether to look for alternatives – either in the Premier League or in the continental market.
If United fail to re-decide on Eduardo Camavinga before August 20, the Red Devils will begin negotiations for another left-back to complete the squad.
Time is running out for Manchester United. The question is: Will they be able to turn their heads to the Frenchman – or will they have to look further? ⏳🔥
