Update: Liverpool & Arsenal transfer target knows which club he wants to play for next season
Liverpool and Arsenal may reportedly have been dealt a blow regarding their transfer pursuit of Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.
There have been plenty of recent transfer reports casting doubt over Camavinga’s Real Madrid future, but it seems his preference is to stay at the Bernabeu, according to Fichajes.
The Spanish outlet states that Real would ideally like to sell Camavinga, but the France international himself could put a spanner in the works as he doesn’t want to leave.

It remains to be seen what the outcome here will be, with other reputable outlets like L’Equipe linking Camavinga with Liverpool and stating that his Madrid future is increasingly uncertain.
Meanwhile, we’ve been reliably informed by sources in the industry that Camavinga has been offered to Arsenal as a move is anticipated for this summer.
Does Eduardo Camavinga have a future at Real Madrid?
While Real Madrid might not be able to force Camavinga out, it’s hard to see a world in which he stays at the club when they don’t want him.
The 23-year-old is too good to simply spend the season warming the bench, and he’ll surely get good chances to play regularly for other top clubs around Europe.
Liverpool could do with changing things up and might find that Camavinga is a good partner for Ryan Gravenberch in midfield.
Arsenal, meanwhile, probably don’t urgently need the former Rennes ace, but would probably be tempted to bring in someone to at least provide them with a better rotation option to Christian Norgaard, thereby allowing Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi more opportunities to rest.
Real will surely do what they can to offload Camavinga this summer as it seems very clear that’s the plan they’re leaking to the press as they look to build up interest in the player.
