Liverpool are stepping up their midfield plans ahead of the summer window, with reports suggesting the Reds have reopened talks over a potential £50 million deal for Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga.

The 23-year-old French international has emerged as a top target amid uncertainty surrounding the futures of Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones at Anfield. Mac Allister, 27, is reportedly on Real Madrid’s radar and has yet to open contract talks with Liverpool, while Jones—whose current deal runs until 2027—could be sold this summer if no extension is agreed soon.

Even if both players stay on Merseyside, manager Arne Slot is expected to strengthen his midfield options. Premier League talents like Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson have also been linked, but sporting director Richard Hughes may look to the Bernabeu for a marquee signing.

Camavinga, who is under contract until 2029, is reportedly being made available for transfer this summer. According to a report from TEAMtalk, the final straw came when he was left out of France’s squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. The versatile midfielder—capable of playing defensive midfield, central midfield, and even left-back—has lost his starting place at Real Madrid and is said to be seeking a fresh start.

Manchester United are also in the hunt, with the 15-time Champions League winners demanding £50 million for his signature. But Liverpool have been in direct talks with the player’s camp in recent days, as the Reds look to add an elite performer to their engine room.

For a player of Camavinga’s quality and versatility, £50 million represents a genuine bargain—and a deal that Hughes and Slot simply cannot afford to miss.
