Potential Summer Sale
Last Chance for Camavinga to Save His Real Madrid Career
Eduardo Camavinga, who was the hero for Real Madrid against Alavés, now sees his starting position at risk with the return of Dani Ceballos. His season has been far from expectations.
According to reports, Camavinga, who occasionally starts and saved his team against Alavés, has experienced a season full of ups and downs. One day, he shines with a stunning left-footed goal against Alavés to keep Real Madrid in the La Liga title race, and the next, he gets sent off with a red card in London.
His market value has dropped by 30% this season, now valued at €70 million by Transfermarkt. His crucial goal against Alavés was not only pivotal for the team but also for himself. This goal came at a time when his place in the squad was uncertain, and competition in midfield intensified with the return of Dani Ceballos, who has now become irreplaceable. Camavinga’s opportunities to secure his starting spot are dwindling, especially with a Copa del Rey final approaching.
After Real Madrid’s bitter exit from Europe, the Santiago Bernabéu will become a stage for fan judgment. Camavinga, who was suspended for the second leg due to his red card at the Emirates, is exempt from this scrutiny. However, the remaining four matches at the Bernabéu will be an opportunity for fans to evaluate the team’s overall performance this season.
This season, Camavinga’s fourth year at Real Madrid (at 22 years old), was supposed to be the season where he solidified his place. However, his performances have been inconsistent. In his last three starts, we saw the same erratic player who was often substituted at halftime early in his career. He received a yellow card in all three matches: against Real Sociedad, a red card in London, and another yellow against Alavés in the 80th minute when he was deployed as a left-back to rest Fran García. However, suspension is not yet a threat, as he has only received two yellow cards in La Liga.
