Liverpool should look to revamp their midfield this summer after a dreadful season, and Eduardo Camavinga is emerging as a realistic option.The Reds have not made a midfield signing for three years now, and it has become clear over the course of the campaign that that now needs to change.As Rousing The Kop exclusively revealed in October, Liverpool have been tracking Camavinga’s situation at Real Madrid. Is it time for Van Dijk to join Salah this summer and leave Liverpool?

Camavinga to Liverpool looks perfectAlthough Madrid’s willingness to sell Camavinga is somewhat form related, it is still easy to see the former Rennes man reviving his career elsewhere.There are echoes of Ryan Gravenberch’s situation at Bayern Munich before joining Liverpool, and the pair could form an elite duo for the Reds.

Liverpool should learn from that and move for Camavinga while they can.With the Madrid man set to be available and Liverpool needing to beef up their midfield, things look like they could be lining up for a perfect solution.
