Friday’s reports claim that Juventus are eyeing an ambitious, yet increasingly possible loan deal for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who is looking for more regular playing time after being left out of the France national team squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Could Juventus make a move for Camavinga this summer?
Camavinga is still only 23 years of age, yet has two Champions League titles, two LaLiga titles and a Copa del Rey trophy among his personal collection. However, the Frenchman was limited to just 16 appearances in Real Madrid’s starting XI in LaLiga this season, and was not included in Didier Deschamps’s France squad for the upcoming World Cup as a result.

The situation means that Camavinga could go in search of more consistent playing time elsewhere in 2026-27.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Camavinga is unwilling to leave Madrid on a permanent basis this summer, but could be tempted by an enticing loan offer, especially to another prestigious club in Europe where he would be guaranteed more minutes.
Juventus are said to be interested, and given that they found themselves overly reliant on the services of Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram in 2025-26, the Bianconeri would be able to offer Camavinga the central role he is said to be seeking.
La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that it is an uphill battle for Juventus, but an idea that could soon become more concrete.
This is a deal that would only become possible, however, if Juventus are able to rehome Teun Koopmeiners first.

La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that it will be difficult for the Dutchman to re-establish himself as a first-choice midfield option after two consecutive disappointing seasons in Turin, but for the same reason, it will be difficult to find a suitor willing to sign him permanently and for fee that will satisfy the Old Lady.
For that reason, Juventus are also willing to consider loan proposals for Koopmeiners this summer according to Friday’s update.
