Eduardo Camavinga has revealed his preference to a move to Real Madrid, according to The Express via Manchester Evening News. Manchester United are engaged in negotiations with the Frenchman’s representatives, but the latest rounds of talks have not been encouraging. The Red Devils have learned that Camavinga wants to move to Spain instead of Old Trafford, so the Premier League side’s pursuit of the 18-year-old might be over.

Manchester United had previously earmarked Eduardo Camavinga as their top midfield target this summer. But the Red Devils may now have to turn to other options.
