Manchester City is reportedly preparing a major bid for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga during the upcoming summer transfer window, according to a recent article published by *Real Madrid Confidential*. The Premier League giants, who have been underwhelming this season and face the real possibility of missing out on a Champions League spot, see the 22-year-old French international as a crucial component in their rebuilding process.
City manager Pep Guardiola is believed to be particularly taken with Camavinga’s recent performances—especially his display against Manchester City in their Champions League clash. As a result, Guardiola has identified the young midfielder as a top target, hoping to bring him to the Etihad Stadium ahead of the next campaign. One factor that may aid City’s pursuit is their reportedly strong relationship with Camavinga’s agency, CAA Stellar, which could help ease the negotiations and potentially smooth the path for a transfer.
While Camavinga has enjoyed considerable success during his time at Real Madrid—winning two LaLiga championships and two Champions League titles—the Spanish giants are not eager to let him go. Club sources have made it clear that they have no intention of selling him, viewing him as an integral part of their long-term plans. Nevertheless, if Manchester City were to submit a highly attractive offer, there is a possibility that Real Madrid may reconsider their stance. Ultimately, the decision will lie with both the club and the player himself.
Camavinga is just one of several players on Manchester City’s radar as they look to refresh and reinforce their squad in preparation for next season. In addition to the Real Madrid star, City is reportedly monitoring Nottingham Forest’s right-back Ola Aina. However, they may face stiff competition for his signature, with Liverpool also expressing interest in the Nigerian international.
In their continued effort to identify and secure future stars, Manchester City’s scouting team has also turned its attention to youth prospects. One such name is Justin Cuero Martinez, a highly rated 15-year-old winger from Ecuador who plays for Independiente del Valle’s youth team. Martinez, whose playing style has drawn comparisons to Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembele, is already attracting attention from some of Europe’s top clubs, including Barcelona and Real Madrid. City’s interest in Martinez highlights their strategy of blending immediate reinforcements with long-term talent development.
