Manchester United are reportedly making Aurelien Tchouameni and Alex Scott two of their top transfer targets in midfield.

However, the Red Devils also have other options under consideration, including Tchouameni’s Real Madrid and France teammate Eduardo Camavinga.

It seems that United are keen to add a second midfield signing after already reportedly having an agreement in place to bring in Ederson from Atalanta, as per BBC Sport‘s recent report.

Even though the Brazilian should be a fine addition at Old Trafford, there clearly seems to be room for another addition in that position.

Tchouameni and Scott are quite different players, but both look like they’d surely be an upgrade on Manuel Ugarte, who has struggled to establish himself as a regular during his time at United, and who has also just suffered a serious injury whilst at the World Cup with Uruguay.

Manchester United to raid Real Madrid?

It will be interesting to see if there’s an opportunity for United to raid Madrid for either one of Tchouameni or Camavinga.

Sky’s report above mentions that Real also have an interest in a midfield signing of their own this summer, with Manchester City’s Rodri on their list.

That should give some encouragement to MUFC, who could do well to take advantage of this situation by landing one of Tchouameni or Camavinga.

Both are fine players, but it perhaps makes sense that Los Blancos are prepared to make some changes to their squad after two seasons in a row of significant under-achievement.

Manchester City’s midfield rebuild may not be finished yet, with Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga now emerging as a major name on their summer radar.

According to Marca, City have held talks over a possible move for the 23-year-old France international, who could be allowed to leave the Bernabeu for around €60m.

Real Madrid are currently reshaping their squad under Jose Mourinho, and Camavinga’s future has become uncertain despite his obvious talent and experience at the highest level.

City have already agreed a huge £116m deal to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, as reported by The Times.

However, that does not appear to have ended their search for another midfielder.

Camavinga joins midfield shortlist at Man City

City’s interest in Camavinga makes sense when looking at the bigger picture.

Enzo Maresca is preparing for his first season in charge and clearly wants more energy, control and tactical flexibility in midfield.

Anderson gives City Premier League power and ball-carrying ability, but Camavinga would bring something different.

He is press-resistant, athletic, left-footed and capable of playing as a No.6, No.8 or even at left-back if needed. That versatility is exactly the kind of quality City usually value.

Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali had also been linked with City, but he now appears closer to joining Tottenham.

Lille teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi has also been on City’s radar, showing that the club are looking at both established stars and long-term prospects.

Why the Frenchman could be a smart signing for City

Camavinga would be a very exciting signing for Man City if the €60m figure is accurate.

In the current market, that price feels reasonable for a player of his age, pedigree and technical profile.

The only question is whether Real Madrid are truly ready to let him go.

Camavinga has had difficult moments, but he remains one of the most talented midfielders in Europe.

For City, this would be a clever move. Anderson may be the statement signing, but Camavinga  could be the one who gives Maresca’s midfield the balance and elegance it needs.

If City can pull this off, their rebuild would start to look seriously powerful.
