The possible departure of Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid is stirring up the European football scene, with the name of the young French midfielder being strongly linked to Inter Milan. The news has landed like a bombshell in Italy, where speculation is already rife about the astronomical investment the “Nerazzurri” will have to make to convince the Spanish club to release one of its most promising talents.
Inter’s interest in Camavinga comes at a time when the club is preparing a true revolution in its squad for the upcoming season. Cristian Chivu, the manager of the Milanese team, aims to strengthen several areas, particularly the central defense, the wings, and, of course, the midfield. The urgency to secure a top midfielder has increased after months of rumors regarding the signing of Manu Koné from Roma, but according to information from Corriere della Sera and Calciomercato.com, it is Camavinga who now tops the priority list. To secure the transfer of the French international, Real Madrid demands a fee of around 50 million euros, although some Italian sources suggest that a sum between 40 and 45 million euros would be sufficient to initiate serious negotiations.

The importance of this potential transfer is undeniable. Camavinga, just 21 years old, has already proven to be a player capable of taking on a leading role at one of the world’s biggest clubs, being a key player in Real Madrid’s recent successes. A possible move to Milan would not only immediately boost Inter’s ambitions to reclaim the Serie A title and make a significant impact in the Champions League but would also further enhance the club’s status as an elite destination for young European talents. On the other hand, Camavinga’s departure could signal a new phase of renewal in the “merengues'” midfield, which continues to invest heavily in the international market.
The salary of the French player is another topic that is generating buzz. According to the same reports, Camavinga currently earns around 12.5 million euros gross per season at the Santiago Bernabéu, a figure that, net, should be around 7.5 million euros including bonuses. If the move to Inter is confirmed, he will join the ranks of the highest-paid players in the squad, alongside names like Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu, although still below captain Lautaro Martínez, who leads the salary table at the Italian club.
However, competition threatens to complicate Inter’s plans. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are keeping an eye on Camavinga’s situation, ready to pounce if Real Madrid gives the green light for his departure. Even Juventus, which had been mentioned as a possible destination for the midfielder, albeit only on loan, continues to monitor the situation. Such a scenario forces Inter to act quickly, lest they see their main alternative for the midfield slip away to the competition, particularly to the ever-powerful Premier League.
In recent statements, sources close to the Madrid club have hinted at the possibility of a transfer, but emphasized that “Real Madrid will only agree to negotiate Camavinga for an offer that fully satisfies the club’s financial demands.” This position reinforces the idea that a considerable financial effort will be necessary to convince Florentino Pérez to part with the young Frenchman, whose market value remains high.
The outcome of this case promises to liven up the transfer market in the coming weeks. If Inter manages to secure Camavinga, they will gain not only a luxury reinforcement but also an important asset in the fight for the Italian title and European prestige. On the Real Madrid side, a potential sale would open up space for new signings and for the emergence of other young players in the first team. For now, the ball is in the Italians’ court, who will have to decide whether to proceed with one of the most high-profile deals of the transfer window or opt for more affordable alternatives in the market.
