€100M on the Table for a Generational Signing, Florentino Considers the OK

He Arrived to Be Decisive, but Right Now They Are Rethinking His Sale

Summer can be very busy at Real Madrid, and not just because of the Club World Cup. Depending on the results obtained until the end of the season, there could be surprises. Especially in the chapter of departures where right now they are not closing the door to anything.

Meanwhile, Camavinga is in the spotlight, whose season is not being the desired one. He arrived at Real Madrid with the club's idea that he would mark an era due to his youth. But the feeling is that he has stagnated and has not made the leap that was expected.

He is a player who contributes a lot coming off the bench, being able to change the course of a match. But when he has to be a starter, it is much more difficult for him to maintain consistency. He combines great performances with more discreet ones that end up taking a toll on him.

That's why right now Florentino would be reconsidering what to do with him this summer. Among other things, because on the table there is an offer from Bayern Munich that is very tempting. They would be willing to pay up to 100M for Camavinga to secure his signing.

He Has a Couple of Months to Take a Step Forward and Turn His Situation Around

During this season, we have seen a Camavinga very far from his best version. Ancelotti assured that he had some back problems that were preventing him from playing completely comfortably. But the months have passed, and no improvement has been seen in the Frenchman.

At Real Madrid, they trust, as we say, they saw his capabilities to be a dominant midfielder. And they still think he can be that player, although he has to prove it. He has a couple of months ahead to take that step forward that they are asking of him.

He won't be able to do it against Arsenal as he is suspended after seeing the red card. But he could reappear on Sunday in the league to face Athletic in a crucial duel. And with an eye on the upcoming April 26 when the Copa del Rey final will be played.
