According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the plan is to try and raise around €150m, with Camavinga perhaps set to be joined by Brahim Diaz and Andriy Lunin in being offloaded by Los Blancos.
This comes as Liverpool eye up Camavinga this summer, while our understanding is that Chelsea are also monitoring the France international’s situation.
Meanwhile, we’ve previously also received information that Newcastle United have Brahim on their list of transfer targets, so this could be a positive update for them too.
Do Liverpool need Eduardo Camavinga?
It’s a bit surprising to see a top talent like Camavinga being made available, but he arguably hasn’t shown his best form during his time at the Bernabeu.
In fairness, standard are exceptionally high at Real Madrid, and a lot of fine players haven’t quite made it there, so there’s no reason Camavinga can’t still revive his career at another big club.

We recently gave Camavinga the above rating with our Transfer Fit scoring system, with the 23-year-old looking like he could strengthen LFC for the short and long term without costing a fortune.
There is some similarly between his situation and that of Ryan Gravenberch, who was struggling at Bayern Munich before being given more of a key role at Liverpool.
That’s really helped the Dutchman get his career back on track, and perhaps now Camavinga could form a strong midfield partnership with him in Arne Slot’s side.
It seems clear that something needs to change at Liverpool this summer after a disappointing campaign, with the team not as solid as they looked in the past.
The addition of Camavinga as another more defensive-minded midfielder could help Slot get a better balance in his side.
