Real Madrid Confidencial Newcastle knocks on Camavinga's door and Xabi responds: 'His place...'
Xabi Alonso puts an end to the matter, he doesn't listen to Newcastle's offer for Camavinga
Camavinga hasn't been able to make his debut yet this season as he is recovering from an ankle sprain (esguince de tobillo). However, the French player's return seems closer and closer, and Xabi Alonso is celebrating it. He will have one more midfielder in one of the most weakened lines.
However, we are in the final stretch of the transfer window and some teams have set their sights on Camavinga. It doesn't seem like he will be an undisputed starter in the new Merengue coach's plans. That makes him a very attractive player due to his quality, for a last-minute bomb move.
With that mindset, Newcastle have burst onto the scene, wanting to secure his services. The Magpies have more than enough money to make the signing happen and are willing to invest in him. They believe he can be a player who gives them an extra boost of quality in their new attempt in the Champions League.
There is talk that they would put a €50 million offer on the table to secure his signing. However, that amount seems insufficient according to Real Madrid's opinion on the matter. Defensa Central confirm to us that they won't accept such a low price for Camavinga.
Xabi Alonso sends a message to Camavinga regarding his future
Xabi Alonso has appeared before the media ahead of the match against Mallorca. The Tolosa native has analyzed the match, but he has also been asked about Camavinga and his return. He is very close to fully recovering and being available again.
"I'm really looking forward to having Camavinga. I've had him, but not with the continuity I want. He will contribute a lot, he has many qualities of modern soccer," said the Tolosa native. With these words, he closed the door on a possible move to Newcastle.
Indeed, Real Madrid's coach has reiterated that "he fits with what we want to do and will have his place." So he is in his plans, something he would have already conveyed to Eduardo. Therefore, the Magpies will have to look for another target in the market.
