The case of Eduardo Camavinga is sending shockwaves throughout Europe. At just 21 years old, the young French midfielder, who was supposed to be the natural heir to Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos at Real Madrid, is perhaps going through the most difficult period of his career. Surprisingly sidelined by Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid’s new coach, Camavinga is no longer untouchable. And Paris Saint-Germain is looking to take advantage of this void to make a splash in the transfer market.

According to sources close to the Real Madrid dressing room, Camavinga was deeply disappointed by the handling of his case. Relegated to the bench for the last two La Liga matches, he felt “humiliated” and betrayed by a coach who had promised him a key role in his sporting project. In Paris, the PSG board immediately sensed an opportunity. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, determined to make a splash after the controversies surrounding Donnarumma and the dressing room management, reportedly gave the green light to the preparation of a shocking offer.

According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain’s initial offer was around   €30 million  . But Florentino Pérez’s reaction has left everyone speechless: the Madrid president is demanding an astronomical sum, well over €100 million, to let Camavinga go. This strategy would have a dual objective: to protect the club’s finances, but above all, to send a clear message to PSG, which has been trying to attract the best French talent for years.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this matter is Camavinga’s own reaction. According to some Spanish journalists, the player has confessed to those close to him that he feels “trapped” at Real Madrid, blocked by an exaggerated transfer fee that prevents him from deciding his future. There are even rumors circulating that the player could be seeking a confrontation with his management, a situation reminiscent of the tensions Mbappé experienced during his final seasons in Paris.

In Paris, Luis Enrique is closely monitoring the situation. The Spanish coach considers Camavinga the perfect player to stabilize the midfield and support Warren Zaire-Emery in an explosive rotation. “He’s a player capable of covering the entire field, both destructively and creatively,” a source close to the Parisian coaching staff reportedly confessed. The Zaire-Emery-Camavinga duo could represent the future of the French national team… and PSG.

But a transfer of this magnitude is never easy. At Real Madrid, some in the dressing room don’t hide their discomfort with the handling of the matter. Luka Modrić, on the verge of ending his career, is said to have personally asked the club not to sacrifice Camavinga, whom he considers his natural successor. For his part, the now retired Toni Kroos expressed his incomprehension of Alonso’s attitude.

The Camavinga case, therefore, is shaping up to be a ticking time bomb. Between a frustrated player, an inflexible Real Madrid, and a PSG team willing to do anything to strengthen its project, all the ingredients are in place for an explosive saga. What if history were to repeat itself? After losing Kylian Mbappé this summer, PSG could very well “steal” one of Real Madrid’s most prized jewels.

This scenario, unimaginable just a few months ago, now seems more plausible than ever. One thing is certain: the Eduardo Camavinga case will likely generate a stir and redefine the balance of power in Europe.
