Arsenal are said to be ready to spend a huge sum of 110 million euros (94 million pounds) to recruit Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga this summer.

Camavinga exploded at French club Rennes before joining Real Madrid for a fee of 31 million euros in the summer of 2021. At the age of 21, Camavinga has made a total of 132 appearances for the Santiago Bernabeu team in all competitions, scored 2 goals and 6 assists.

Arsenal plans to spend heavily to welcome Camavinga

As a defensive midfielder, Camavinga can also play well as a left-back. This season, the French international has been a regular starter in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad 24 times in all competitions, including 16 times in La Liga.

However, Camavinga has to compete with the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric for a place in midfield. The 21-year-old player just renewed his contract with Real Madrid last November, valid until June 2029.

Arsenal planning to recruit Camavinga for a large sum of money?

Real Madrid President Florentino Perez is said to believe that Camavinga will soon develop into one of the best midfielders in the world and has no intention of parting ways with the French international.

Coach Arteta wants to bring Camavinga to the Emirates

However, Spanish newspaper Defensa Central revealed that Arsenal wants this versatile player in the upcoming summer transfer window. The source added that the “Gunners” are willing to pay up to 110 million euros to recruit Camavinga and coach Mikel Arteta really wants to bring the 21-year-old player to the Emirates.

Arsenal is said to be optimistic about reaching an agreement with Camavinga if he does not feature in coach Ancelotti’s plans in Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign in the knockout round.

Do Arsenal need to sign Camavinga?

Camavinga’s versatility and progress will certainly attract many top European clubs, including Arsenal. At the age of 21, the French international is a promising player and has a very long future ahead.

Meanwhile, the “Gunners” are expected to continue to splash money in the upcoming summer transfer window, with upgrading the attack said to be the top priority in coach Arteta’s plans.

However, adding 1 or 2 midfielders could also be considered by Arsenal in the context of the uncertain future of players like Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny.

Partey was said to want to leave the Emirates in recent months due to losing his starting place, while Elneny’s contract will expire at the end of the season.
