Liverpool ramps up to sign Real Madrid star Camavinga

Liverpool moved quickly to negotiate with one of Real Madrid's stars, aiming to secure his services for next summer.

The move comes as Florentino Perez signals a potential sale of the French youngster Eduardo Camavinga following a dip in form.

Real Madrid is ready to consider offers, with Camavinga's contract running through 2029.

Fichajes noted that Camavinga has not yet established himself under coach Álvaro Arbeloa at Madrid.
