Camavinga ready to reject summer Premier League transfer

Eduardo Camavinga currently has no intention of leaving Real Madrid this summer despite interest from the Premier League.

Camavinga has been linked with an exit from the Spanish side after a challenging campaign. The 23-year-old has started only 13 games in La Liga and his performances have been scrutinised after a dip in form.

Sky Sports are reporting that Camavigna’s preference is to fight for his place in the Real Madrid side and that he is currently showing ‘no signs of dissatisfaction’.
