Eduardo Camavinga is once again drawing attention—this time as a central piece in Xabi Alonso’s vision for the new Real Madrid. The incoming manager, as reported by AS, has a precise role in mind for the French midfielder: a trusted, all-purpose player—a tactical “Swiss Army knife” capable of adapting to any challenge on the pitch.

Although a recent injury kept Camavinga sidelined during the Club World Cup, leaving Alonso still waiting to see him in action firsthand, plans are already in motion to unlock the version of Camavinga that once looked destined to dominate at the Bernabéu. Injuries and inconsistency may have slowed his rise, but Alonso believes the talent is still very much intact.

Camavinga will primarily be used as an interior midfielder in a 4-3-3 or paired with Tchouaméni in a 4-4-2 double pivot. But his flexibility doesn’t end there—he could also serve as a left-back or as a classic defensive midfielder, a true “number five” in the Argentine sense. This versatility has Xabi Alonso genuinely excited and has not gone unnoticed by the club's hierarchy.

At just 22 years old and with a market value of €60 million, Camavinga has both time and potential on his side. Xabi Alonso’s goal is to reignite the spark that brought him to Madrid in the first place. The talent is undeniable; what he needs now is consistency and belief, two things Alonso is ready to give.

With fewer obstacles in midfield and a manager firmly in his corner, Camavinga is poised to reclaim his place and live up to the promise he showed as a prodigy. Real Madrid is counting on him.
