What future for Eduardo Camavonga in Madrid? This is a question that has arisen a lot in recent weeks. The tricolor midfielder could not show himself during the Club World Cup since he was injured, and Xabi Alonso could not assess him in match as he was able to do with the rest of the workforce. The former midfielder of Stade Rennais also could not really discover the methods of his new coach, which seems to have found a solid frame during this competition disputed in US land.
Doubts about his future have therefore quickly settled in supporters or journalists, notably following several information from the English media evoking a pronounced interest of several English clubs for his services. But at the end of the week, the Cadena Ser explained that Real Madrid was of course on him and had no intention of separating from his services.
The Swiss knife
A good omen for French? Yes and no. Effectively, AS says more about the Basque coach's intentions vis-à-vis the 22-year-old midfielder. The media explains that Xabi Alonso does not necessarily see the player as a holder. He considers Camavonga as the Swiss knife of the team, capable of playing in the middle in a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2, but also to play on the left if it were necessary in the absence of the players who evolve in this position.
But when all players are available, it should not start meetings. Tchouameni is thus indisputable in the eyes of Xabi Alonso, just like Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham, which will still miss the first weeks of competition. Arda Güler should also have a substantial playing time, positioned a little lower on the field. Suffice to say that the places will be dear to Madrid, even more for an Eduardo Camavonga who will have to prove himself in the eyes of Xabi Alonso…
