Whisper+ analysis
Authenticity (2/5): Not a very reliable source
Manchester City are interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, as Pep Guardiola looks to reshape his midfield ahead of next season.
The story comes from Football Insider, which has an underwhelming record when it comes to transfer exclusives.
Value (3/5): Real slap massive price tag
It is not going to be easy for City to sign the highly-rated 22-year-old should they decide to pursue the deal as they value the France international at around £70million. He is tied to the club until the summer of 2029 so the Spanish giants are in no hurry to find a solution.
Suitability (3.5/5): Dynamic midfielder
Camavinga is known for his versatility and can play on the left side of midfield and defence or centrally. His composure in possession, incredible physique, and work rate in defensive situations have also earned him plenty of plaudits.
Upgrade? (3.5/5): Central figure in new midfield
Guardiola is keen to revamp his midfield options, having already signed Nico Gonzalez from FC Porto. Camavinga could become a central figure of his rebuild at the Etihad, owing to his versatility and exceptional Champions League-winning pedigree.
Logic (4/5): More minutes
The Frenchman hasn't played as many games under Carlo Ancelotti, especially in his natural position. It is suggested that this could pave the way for him to look for a new destination.
Whisper+ verdict: 16/25
At this point, it seems the only way City could sign Camavinga is if he decides to push for an exit from Santiago Bernabeu.
