Real Madrid: Galatasaray opens Camavinga talks

The Turkish club dreams of a major midfield signing, but the deal looks complicated.

Europe Today at 04:35

Eduardo Camavinga is now on Galatasaray's radar. The Turkish champions are aiming to bolster their midfield with a world-class player to take the next step in the Champions League.

Initial contacts have reportedly been made with both the player and Real Madrid. The Madrid club would be open to a sale if an offer exceeds 50 million euros. However, the main obstacle remains the salary. Camavinga is said to be demanding more than 15 million euros per year—a significant increase from his current earnings. This demand is considered very high by Galatasaray.

At 23, the French midfielder remains a versatile asset, capable of playing as a defensive anchor or at left-back. Despite inconsistent playing time, he still commands a strong reputation in the European market. For now, the deal is at a standstill, but the interest is very much alive.
