Newcastle United eye a move for Real Madrid star who is open to Premier League switch image

Real Madrid are off to a great start to the new season winning five out of the first five games in La Liga, something that no other club in Spain have managed to achieve this term. 

Los Blancos also kick-started their European journey with a win over Marseille and are looking like a formidable outfit under the leadership of Xabi Alonso. 

While plenty of players have shown great improvement under the Spanish tactician, there are a few who are currently growing out of favour at Santiago Bernabeu. 

One such player is Eduardo Camavinga, who has received limited gametime this season appearing in only two matches until now. 

The Frenchman was injured at the start of the campaign and therefore he has lost his place in the starting eleven as Alonso has preferred the likes of Federico Valverde, Aurelin Tchouameni and Arda Guler over Camavinga. 

Considering the situation, Camavinga could be on the move out of Real Madrid and according to Football Insider's reports, Newcastle United are eyeing a move for the youngster.

The 22-year-old is reportedly open to a move to Premier League with heavyweight clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea also keeping an eye on the entire situation. 

Why is Camavinga open to a move out of Real Madrid?

Camavinga was one of the most exciting talents in all across Europe when he sealed his move to Real Madrid from Rennes in 2021. 

he was instantly integrated into the first team and played a crucial role in the middle for Los Blancos for the first few campaigns.

However, incessant injuries and dwindling form meant that other players took over his spot in the starting eleven. 

Former coach Carlo Ancelotti showered praise on the youngster despite him featuring as a more of a squad player for Real Madrid. 

Therefore, reports have suggested that the Frenchman wants to start afresh and is preferring a move to England with multiple clubs showing interest in him. 

Camavinga could be the ideal player for Manchester United considering they were in the market for a midfielder this summer. His profile also fits seamlessly in Ruben Amorim's system. 

However, Newcastle are said to be the front runners for the 22-year-old and if the move materializes then it would be a great upgrade for the Magpies as they are gradually looking to compete in the Champions League. 

Camavinga's work ethic, technical ability and versatility would immensely improve Newcastle United's squad and it would be a statement of intent if they somehow manage to land the midfielder.
