Liverpool have been given the green light to pursue a sensational summer swoop for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, with sources confirming the Spanish giants are now actively prepared to let the Frenchman leave the Bernabéu.
Multiple trusted reports have aligned to confirm that Real Madrid’s stance on Camavinga has shifted dramatically. Once considered untouchable, the 22-year-old is now available for offers starting in the region of €50m / £43m – a figure significantly lower than many expected for a player of his calibre and contract length
.
Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke delivered the latest update, headlining his exclusive: ‘Real Madrid ready to listen to £43m+ Eduardo Camavinga bids as Liverpool line up summer deal.’ O’Rourke’s sources are unequivocal: “Liverpool are eyeing up a potential deal to sign Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga this summer… The Spanish giants are willing to listen to offers in excess of the £43million mark for the Frenchman, with the Reds seen as long-term admirers of his ability.”
The interest is far from new. Liverpool’s admiration for Camavinga stretches back to his Rennes days, and as recently as December 2025, insider Graeme Bailey confirmed the club’s continued appreciation. What has changed is Real Madrid’s position. Italian journalist Matteo Morreto – who works closely with Fabrizio Romano – revealed the Frenchman is “no longer untransferable” at the club, opening the door for a deal that could be struck for far less than his previous valuation.
O’Rourke stresses that Liverpool are the club to watch, though they will not be alone. Competition from Premier League rivals is inevitable should Camavinga become available at season’s end.
The potential arrival of the dynamic French international would carry immediate tactical implications at Anfield – and for one Reds midfielder in particular, it could spell serious danger to his starting status.
Alexis Mac Allister is enduring a difficult campaign in central midfield. Regularly overrun and exposed in a two-man engine room, the 27-year-old Argentine’s lack of pace has become a glaring issue. Questions have already been raised about the suitability of deploying him in such a physically demanding role when most top teams opt for a three-man midfield.
Those concerns have been voiced loudest by Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher. During the Reds’ disappointing 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Sunday, Carragher labelled Mac Allister “a problem” for the team.
“The longer the game goes in every game, Mac Allister struggles and that’s a real problem for Liverpool, the centre of midfield,” he stated during live commentary. “It’s something they have to address in the summer, or whether [Dominik] Szoboszlai goes back to the central midfield position.”
Carragher doubled down on Monday Night Football, using two specific clips to illustrate why Liverpool are struggling to control games. The first showed Mac Allister being bypassed during a Spurs counter-attack. “I keep talking about Mac Allister being a problem, and he is… that is not acceptable and can’t happen in a Premier League game,” Carragher declared, highlighting a weak attempted challenge.
The second clip captured Mac Allister attempting to dribble forward from deep before being dispossessed. “Mac Allister again, he doesn’t have the physical power to run past players, so why is he doing it?” Carragher asked. “He then stays down trying to get a foul. Again, poor decision making and it happens time and time again.”
If Liverpool successfully raid Real Madrid for Camavinga – a player renowned for his athleticism, ball-winning ability and progressive carries – Mac Allister’s place in Arne Slot’s starting XI would suddenly look anything but secure.
With Real Madrid now openly ready to entertain bids and Liverpool positioned as long-term suitors, this summer’s transfer window could deliver one of the most significant midfield overhauls in recent Anfield history. The only question remaining is whether the Reds will act decisively while the price remains attainable.
