Real Madrid backs Camavinga as Mourinho seeks to enhance his value

Summary

Eduardo Camavinga's position at Real Madrid has improved following Jose Mourinho's appointment as manager. Despite recent concerns about his form, Camavinga has been a central figure in pre-season, playing the most minutes among outfield players. Real Madrid believes his potential could rise significantly under Mourinho's guidance, leading to a valuation between €100 million and €120 million. This confidence was reinforced by the decision to forgo signing Rodri, which could have altered Camavinga's role in the squad. His performances will be closely monitored as the season progresses.
