Italian giants Juventus are preparing for another rebuild under Luciano Spalletti after falling short of securing Champions League qualification. The club’s sporting department has begun identifying players capable of strengthening key areas of the squad.
After previously exploring the possibility of signing Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid, Juventus have now shifted their focus towards another member of the Spanish club’s squad.
This time, according to Mundo Deportivo, the player attracting attention is Eduardo Camavinga.
Juventus monitoring Camavinga
Camavinga remains one of the most talented midfielders in European football, but the French international has endured a difficult season in Madrid.
Although he was initially considered a key part of Xabi Alonso’s plans, his role became less prominent as the season progressed. A combination of increased competition and difficult moments on the pitch reduced his influence during key stages of the campaign.
Questions have emerged regarding his immediate future, even though he remains under contract until 2029.
Real Madrid open to offers
Reports suggest that Real Madrid are not actively looking to sell, but they could be willing to discuss his future if their €80m price tag is matched.
While a permanent transfer has been mentioned, a temporary departure is also being considered.
Juventus are closely following the situation and view Camavinga as a player capable of significantly improving their midfield options. The Serie A side believes they could offer him an important role, something that may appeal after a campaign in which regular opportunities were not always guaranteed.
Camavinga’s preference
At this stage, a permanent exit appears unlikely. Camavinga remains committed to Real Madrid and has little interest in closing the door on his future.
Despite attracting attention from several clubs, particularly in the Premier League, the midfielder is believed to be more open to a temporary solution than a full transfer.
The bottom line
Juventus wanted Brahim Diaz. They couldn’t get him. Now they want Camavinga.
€80m is the price. Real Madrid are open to talking. But Camavinga doesn’t want to leave permanently.
A loan? Possibly. A sale? Unlikely.
Juventus need midfield reinforcements. Camavinga needs regular minutes. There’s a deal to be done just not the one Juventus might prefer.
The summer window is long. The saga is just beginning.
