According to Spanish outlet, Fichajes.net, Real Madrid are reluctant to let go of their French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga despite major interest from the Premier League giants. After an average ongoing season, Guardiola will look to add reinforcements and Camavinga could be an ideal addition.

He signed an extension with the club in November 2023, which will see him at the club until the summer of 2029. Apart from City, Manchester United are also interested in him.
