Transfer rumors

Recent rumors have linked Eduardo Camavinga with interest from Real Madrid. Now, the player is represented by Barnett, who is Bale’s agent. However, according to rumors, the relationship between Barnett and Florentino is great, despite recent issues regarding Bale and Zidane. In the end, this might make it easier for Camavinga to join Real Madrid. Barnett also represents many players in the club’s academy.

According to Bild, Zidane has contacted Dominik Szoboszlai, who plays for Red Bull Salzburg. The release clause for the midfielder is €25 million.
