The summer transfer market is a place of heavy movement and silent deliberations. Manchester United is working to reshape its center. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the directors at Old Trafford are holding internal discussions regarding Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. The club's interest is broad. It stretches beyond the oft-mentioned Aurelien Tchouameni. United wants a specific instrument for its engine room, a player of heavy physical presence who can run and bring intense life into the midfield lines.

The club paid 48 million pounds, with an additional two million pounds in add-ons, to bring Andrey Santos from Chelsea. On Tuesday night, they announced the arrival of Youri Tielemans after activating his 35 million pound release clause from Aston Villa. Now, the hierarchy looks for a third man to finish the work.
The pursuit of Eduardo Camavinga is not an easy one. The player has a desire to stay in Spain. According to Romano, "Camavinga doesn't want to leave Real Madrid this summer. Camavinga wants to stay, Camavinga wants to be an important part of the Real Madrid project next season." The French midfielder is valued at an enticing fee of 50 million euros, but a deal remains complicated unless the player changes his mind.
Based on reports from the middle of May, Manchester United and Liverpool have both held initial talks with the 23-year-old's representatives. While Liverpool had been heavily linked with the player in recent months, United's internal discussions could shift the weight of the race. The club has also reached out to Manu Kone, the French midfielder currently playing for Roma, though discussions have only taken place on the player's side.
The decision is heavy and time is moving. Real Madrid is undergoing its own changes under returning manager Jose Mourinho, who has added Bernardo Silva to his ranks. United knows it needs athleticism and versatility to cover the ground under Michael Carrick. David Ornstein and Laurie Whitwell have noted the club's firm intention to find a third addition, but whether that man will be Camavinga depends entirely on the player's own choice to seek a new adventure away from Madrid.
