Real Madrid Eye Stunning Liverpool Swap Deal for ‘Unique’ Midfielder – But the Reality Says Otherwise
According to a claim in the Catalan media, Real Madrid is preparing an incredible trade with Liverpool that would involve Ryan Gravenberch and Eduardo Camavinga.
However, WANDERLUSTSPORT thinks this is a rumour that neither the Santiago Bernabeu supporters nor the Anfield supporters should believe.
Liverpool is reportedly one of the teams interested in the Real Madrid midfielder Camavinga, who has been making the transfer rumour sites lately.
Trending
The reigning Premier League winners are showing interest in the France international as he struggles to establish himself in Xabi Alonso’s starting lineup following a period of injury absence.
Transfer reporter Graeme Bailey of TBR claims that Liverpool is considering a move for Camavinga, who is also being pursued by Manchester City and Chelsea. According to E-Noticies, “voices” in Madrid are “calling” on Camavinga to “depart.”
According to the source, Real Madrid is “considering a change” even though “Eduardo Camavinga is a player with a unique profile” and is “a valuable asset.”
The Spanish and European powerhouses have “studied a possible exchange” deal and are looking to replace Camavinga with Gravenberch, a midfielder for Liverpool and the Netherlands.
Liverpool’s “historic interest in Aurelien Tchouameni” is known to Madrid, but the France international is seen as “untouchable” and “non-transferable.”
Los Blancos think Liverpool will take Camavinga in place of Gravenberch, despite Tchouameni being “an essential piece” in Madrid’s midfield. They see the 22-year-old, who can also play left-back, as a “bargaining chip.”
Camavinga has a deal with Los Blancos through the summer of 2029 and has been a member of the Madrid roster since 2021. The young French player has already won the Champions League and La Liga twice while playing at the Santiago Bernabeu.
There will be no exchange of Eduardo Camavinga for Ryan Gravenberch
It is just not going to happen. This is one of the most outrageous rumours you will ever hear regarding a swap deal between Gravenberch and Camavinga.
First of all, since E-Noticies is a Catalan publication, one must wonder how they obtained so much information from Real Madrid, whose rivalry with Barcelona is likely the most heated in club football and is well-documented.
Second, Alonso has praised Camavinga this season and stated that he will be given opportunities. On September 22, prior to the match against Levante, Alonso spoke about Camavinga on Madrid’s official website: “I’m enthusiastic because he has not been with us for an extended period.”
“I’ve watched him perform, so I know him, but I’m excited to collaborate with him. He has many characteristics and a lot of potential, in my opinion.
“He is one of the individual projects that are part of the collective project.” He still has a long way to go, but what he has accomplished thus far is significant. He is driven and enthusiastic.
He is a vastly different person on an individual basis. He can enter the final third with his dribbling from the ‘6’ position. He is dynamic rather than static.
According to Cadena SER, Alonso ordered Camavinga to remain at Real Madrid in July despite offers from Premier League teams. Thirdly, according to insiders who spoke to TEAMtalk, Liverpool intends to offer Gravenberch a new deal.
According to Dean Jones, Madrid is not actively pursuing a trade for the Dutch player. Jones stated: “The Reds cannot consider this deal, but the connections between Liverpool players and Real Madrid never seem to end.”
Spanish sources don’t think this is a live chase just yet, given his performance, such rumours can’t be disregarded. “There have been suggestions of a new contract, and Liverpool will need to go with that.
Although it doesn’t appear likely, it would be shocking if they did not sign him before 2028 given the situation they found themselves in with Trent, Salah, and Van Dijk the previous season.
Last but not least, is there any reason to believe that Liverpool would accept Camavinga from Madrid in return for Gravenberch?
Liverpool is no mugs and does not sell players they want to keep, despite Madrid’s belief that they are the largest club in the world and that every player wants to play for them.
Even if Los Blancos aren’t actively interested in Gravenberch, a number of reports have stated that Madrid is quite interested in Alexis Mac Allister.
This week, Mac Allister performed an uncommon role for Argentina, and the media has praised the Liverpool midfielder’s performance. And also this week, a Real Madrid playmaker was in action, and the local media has also been raving about his international performance.
The Real Madrid diamond has been linked to Tottenham Hotspur, but it is difficult to imagine the Spanish and European powerhouses trading him.
However, it will be difficult for Madrid to sign a top Chelsea midfield player since the Blues are prepared to offer him a new and better contract, according to sources who spoke to Fraser Fletcher, TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent.
