Saudi Giants Chase Real Madrid's Camavinga: A High-Stakes Summer Target

Al-Ittihad targets a bold Real Madrid signing

Al-Ittihad is keen to replace its former star, and the Saudi giants have turned their attention to a Real Madrid standout, Eduardo Camavinga, as a possible solution for the upcoming summer window. The club’s interest follows the shocks of the mid-season transfers that unsettled the squad.

Mundo Deportivo reports that the winter window closed recently, but somehow opened the door for summer plans as clubs start lining up new targets for the next season. Al-Ittihad, a club previously linked with Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté, is now eyeing a Madrid talent to strengthen the midfield.

Sources say the deal would aim to fill Kanté’s void after Kanté moved to Fenerbahçe. In reality Camavinga’s potential move to the Arab league is not new; although his contract runs to 2029, the big-money Saudi market could tempt the Frenchman to reconsider.

However, Camavinga’s focus remains on securing a starting place at Real Madrid since arriving in 2021. The midfielder is trying to establish himself, and any decision will depend on Madrid’s plans and the Saudi interest.

Move talks would be significant, showing how a single summer target can tilt the balance in a crowded market, but nothing is certain yet. Clubs rarely miss a chance to dream big, especially when the payday is colossal.

Punchline 1: If Camavinga signs, Madrid will finally understand what they mean by a midfield pivot—the pivot might pivot straight to the bank balance.

Punchline 2: In football transfers, money talks in multiple languages; in Riyadh, it speaks fluent “bonjour, combien?”
