Liverpool are reportedly ‘keeping close tabs’ on a Real Madrid star who would fit perfectly into a role in which there are ‘concerns’ they lack depth in. The Reds have had a mixed start to the season, winning their first five Premier League games before suffering back-to-back defeats to Crystal Palace and Chelsea. In their last three games in all competitions, including a loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League, Liverpool have struggled to find their rhythm.
Midfield has been a particular area of concern for Liverpool, with manager Jurgen Klopp experimenting with different combinations. Florian Wirtz was dropped after a slow start to the season, leading to Dominik Szoboszlai playing in an advanced role with Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch behind him. However, when Wirtz came off the bench, Szoboszlai had to switch to right back, highlighting the lack of natural fit in certain positions.
TBRFootball reports that Liverpool are actively looking to strengthen their holding midfield position, with Eduardo Camavinga emerging as a top target. The club has been monitoring Camavinga closely, with the 22-year-old midfielder seen as a potential solution to their depth issues. Real Madrid are aware of Liverpool’s interest in Camavinga and could be open to selling the talented player, given his limited playing time at the Bernabeu.
According to insider Graeme Bailey, Camavinga could be on the move in 2026, with Liverpool among several clubs interested in his services. While the Reds face competition for his signature, Anfield is considered a prime destination for the young midfielder. With other big names potentially leaving Real Madrid, Camavinga’s future is uncertain, but Liverpool are eager to secure his services sooner rather than later.
Not really sure why this matters, but it seems like Liverpool are serious about bolstering their midfield options. The potential addition of Camavinga could provide the depth and quality needed to compete at the highest level. It remains to be seen whether a deal will materialize in the upcoming transfer window, but Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding the talented French midfielder.
