Liverpool would be willing to make a sudden move for Eduardo Camavinga, who already has “regrets” about his most recent transfer, while Fabio Paratici could oversee a double Tottenham raid on his former club Juventus – according to Thursday’s Euro transfer gossip.

KLOPP CONSIDERS CAMAVINGA RAID FOR LIVERPOOL

Liverpool could offer Eduardo Camavinga a quick next step if he becomes impatient at Real Madrid, according to El Nacional.

Camavinga was one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe before Madrid won the race to sign him from Rennes in the summer.

The Frenchman broke into Rennes’ first team as a 16-year-old and was a regular in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons. A three-time France international, his potential is clear and Madrid made sure to take advantage.

They signed him to a six-year contract after buying him from Rennes in late August. So far, he has made 17 appearances for them, scoring one goal. However, he has only started five La Liga matches so far.

In fact, Camavinga has only completed 90 minutes on two occasions in La Liga to date. And according to El Nacional, he may have some concerns about his status in the squad.

Madrid’s first-choice midfield trio remains that of Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Luka Modric. In addition, Fede Valverde is competing for Camavinga’s place as the main rotation option.

Given that he chose Madrid because of a promise of gametime, Camavinga is beginning to question his decision, the report claims. In fact, he already has “regrets” about his choice.

With that in mind, it is surprisingly claimed that he is already “considering” an exit, just months after his arrival. He wants to play where he is “guaranteed” frequent gametime.

According to El Nacional, the solution could come from Liverpool. The Premier League side are named as long-term admirers and it is felt that Camavinga “perfectly” fits in with what they require in midfield.

Liverpool learn Camavinga price tag

Jurgen Klopp wants to strengthen in the centre of his team. Camavinga could give them quality there for years to come.

However, despite his situation, he will not come cheap. In fact, Madrid want to turn a quick profit if they are to sell him. After signing Camavinga, now 19, for €30m in the summer, they would be looking for a fee of €45m to sell.

But El Nacional believe this figure – which equates to just under £38m – is not out of reach for Liverpool.

The Reds did not replace Georginio Wijnaldum after his contract expired at the end of last season. Harvey Elliott returned after a loan spell with Blackburn Rovers and was making a good impression in midfield before an injury.

Klopp’s main options in the position are Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara. He also knows he can call upon James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Curtis Jones and Naby Keita there.

But Camavinga would add further quality to the department if they can arrange a deal to sign him.
