Eduardo Camavinga will not move from the Santiago Bernabéu, at least not this season. Carlo Ancelotti cleared up doubts about the possible transfer of the midfielder to Arsenal, defining him as "untouchable" for the white squad

Calendar of FC Barcelona

In the previous of the crash of the Sunday in front of the Athletic Bilbao, Carlo Ancelotti took advantage of for descartar any rumour that move away to Eduardo Camavinga of the Real Madrid. Because of the interest of the Arsenal, the future of the of Cabinda was in doubt in the last hours, but the Italian technician does not have doubts on his importance for the staff that directs, more in these moments with the drop of Aurélien Tchouaméni.

"Camavinga Is intocable, like Kroos and Modric", sentenced the míster of Reggiolo. After two very toneless apparitions in the Supercopa Spanish in front of Valencia (left admonished after the rest) and FC Barcelona (went back to be replaced in the halftime), the Frenchman claimed the Thursday in The Ceramics with a big second part in front of the Villarreal in which it was vital for the traced back white.

With only an assistance in LaLiga in 26 official apparitions during the season, Eduardo has had a season very underneath of the level expected for his second year in Chamartín. To the mediocentro have characterised him the entrances to destiempo and problems to cover spaces in the role of pivote and, in front of the good level exhibited by Dani Ceballos, a traspaso seemed to be a reasonable option in this moment, but Ancelotti will not leave him leave.

The Madrid paid 31 million euros to the Stade of Rennes in 2021 by his traspaso and, with a current value of 55 'kilos', hardly would leave him leave by less than €60m. The British newspaper 'Evening Standard' ensured that the Arsenal would try to close his cession to the end of season, without option of compulsory purchase, a possibility that has banished in less than 24 hours.

The dilemma of Ancelotti to visit Saint Mamés

For the Italian technician, the party of the Sunday is of 'high risk', more considering that the Barça has an accessible party home against the Getafe. A new stumble in Saint Mamés could expand the brecha to five points of the leadership, by what Ancelotti could bet for delaying to Dani Ceballos to help to Camavinga and sustain a 4-4-2 in place of the typical 4-3-3 that so good results gave him to the Madrid in the first stretch of the season, with Vinicius Jr. And Karim Benzema as only references of attack and Luka Modric in place of Fede Valverde melted after the World-wide.
