Mourinho Warns Real Madrid’s 32-Year-Old Midfielder of Reduced Playing Time

Jose Mourinho has informed 32-year-old Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga that he won't be counted on during the 2026-27 season. The Portuguese head coach has met with Camavinga to discuss his reduced playing time, with the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, and Bernardo Silva ahead of him in the pecking order.

Mourinho's decision has sparked uncertainty over Camavinga's future at Real Madrid. Despite the midfielder having no plans to leave the club this summer, reports suggest that the club would welcome a sale in order to cash in while his value is at its highest. Camavinga's agent will have to navigate any potential offers from interested parties, but the player has so far shown no inclination to leave Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is undergoing significant changes ahead of the new season, with four signings already made and two more in the works. The club is also looking to exit several players, with Raul Asencio and Franco Mastantuono among those who have been told their minutes will be few and far between. Camavinga's situation is particularly complicated, with the club aware that they could sell him to the Premier League for a good fee, but unable to do so until the player opens the door.

The situation at Real Madrid raises questions about the club's transfer strategy and the role of its players. With Camavinga's future uncertain, fans will be watching to see if he can break into the first team or if he will be forced to consider leaving the club. For now, it remains to be seen whether Camavinga's stance will change in the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window.
