Eduardo Camavinga has already told ‘intelligent’ Liverpool target what he needs to do

Eduardo Camavinga has already told ‘intelligent’ Liverpool target what he needs to do Eduardo Camavinga has long been linked with a Liverpool move. The Frenchman was on the Reds' shortlist before he chose to join Real Madrid back in 2021 and, since then, he's not too far out of Liverpool's thoughts. One of Liverpool's main problem areas since Fabinho exited has been their number six . Although they've had some top prospects such as Tyler Morton , Stefan Bajcetic and Luca Stephenson all come through in that position, none of them have been deemed good enough to make the step-up to the Reds' starting XI. This is why Ryan Gravenberch was converted into a defensive midfielder by Arne Slot and, while that worked out during the 2024-25 season, it was a completely different story during the 2025-26 campaign. A new defensive midfielder is likely to be high on Liverpool's shortlist this summer with Camavinga already telling one of Liverpool's targets what he should do about his future. Real Madrid want to sign Liverpool transfer target Ayoub Bouaddi Ayoub Bouaddi is one of the most sought-after midfielders in the world at the moment. The Morocco international has made his debut at the World Cup this summer and his performance was among the best on the pitch. Bouaddi is only 18 years old and he's already seen as one of the best central midfielder in Ligue 1 so there's no wonder why Liverpool want him. However, if the Reds are sniffing around a new player, that often means that other elite clubs aren't too far behind with Sky Germany journalist Patrick Berger sharing a new update on Bouaddi's situation. "Real Madrid are very interested in Ayyoub Bouaddi," he wrote. "People from Real Madrid, including Juni Calafat, were in attendance at the Brazil vs Morocco match in New Jersey to watch him closely. "The club will continue to monitor his situation. Lille are demanding at least €70m for the talented midfielder." Eduardo Camavinga is a prime example of why Ayoub Bouaddi should join Liverpool over Real Madrid Camavinga and Bouaddi have a lot in common. Both players started their careers in Ligue 1 and burst onto the scene as teenagers. Sure, the clubs that they started at were different but, from then on, things are fairly similar. As mentioned, Real Madrid and Liverpool were both interested in signing Camavinga in 2021 and now, the two clubs find themselves competing for Bouaddi. And, while Los Blancos may have been a bit more successful than Liverpool, especially in the Champions League, with the amount of quality they already have among their ranks, Bouaddi would hardly get any playing time . The same happened to Camavinga as, even though he has played a lot of football, he's been used in almost every other position on the pitch with Carlo Ancelotti more or less turning him into a left-back. If being converted into a full-back is what Bouaddi wants then by all means he should go an join the La Liga outfit. But, if he wants to start regularly in his natural position, the ' intelligent ' midfielder doesn't really have a better option than Anfield.
