Liverpool are plotting a long-term bid to strengthen their midfield by targeting Eduardo Camavinga of Real Madrid, according to TBR Football.The Reds are said to be eyeing a move in 2026, when Camavinga’s situation could be more favourable.With questions emerging about midfield depth at Anfield, this prospective transfer saga stands out as one to watch in the coming windows.Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been forced to lean heavily on a narrow set of midfield options this season.Liverpool need more depth in midfieldAlexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch have carried most of the load, with little reliable backup behind them.Meanwhile, new signings like Florian Wirtz have yet to make an impact in terms of goal contributions.The resulting strain has pushed Liverpool’s hierarchy to seriously consider reinforcement in the engine room for the future.Camavinga ticks many boxes. At just 22, he already boasts elite pedigree, two Champions League titles with Real Madrid, and he offers versatility and even experience.However, in recent months he’s seen his minutes restricted. The rise and form of Arda Guler and Aurélien Tchouaméni, coupled with Camavinga’s injury spells, have complicated his standing in Madrid’s rotation.While the talk is of a 2026 pursuit, Liverpool are already placing Camavinga on their shortlist alongside other midfield targets such as Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton.More Stories / Latest NewsReport: Arsenal consider move for La Liga defensive midfielderOct 12 2025, 15:58Liverpool ready to take Alexander-Arnold revenge by targeting Real Madrid starOct 12 2025, 15:45Man United and Tottenham dealt blow to hopes of January deal for Barcelona starOct 12 2025, 14:57Reds would have to convince Eduardo CamavingaEduardo Camavinga reacts during a game for Real Madrid (Photo by Florencia Tan Jun/Getty Images)Yet a host of challenges remain.
