Eduardo Camavinga rejected a transfer to Galatasaray during the summer

Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga declined a move to Galatasaray during the summer transfer window. The Turkish club had prepared an offer worth €50 million for the 23-year-old French international. While Real Madrid was willing to consider incoming bids for the player, he elected to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu. Camavinga’s decision was influenced by the support of head coach Jose Mourinho, who expressed confidence in his development. Despite his commitment to the club, the midfielder has earned only one start this season as he competes with Federico Valverde, Bernardo Silva, and Aurelien Tchouameni for playing time. Thiago Pitarch is also expected to challenge for minutes within the squad. Camavinga remains determined to secure a larger role in the team, though his future status could be re-evaluated during the January window.
