Agent: 'Camavinga wants to finish his career at Real Madrid'

Eduardo Camavinga's agent says that his client wants to stay at Real Madrid "all his life" after penning a new long-term deal at Bernabeu.

Eduardo Camavinga's agent has said that his client wants to stay at Real Madrid "all his life".

On Tuesday, Los Blancos announced that the France international had signed a new contract with the capital giants until the end of the 2028-29 competition.

Camavinga's new deal has seen him receive an increase in salary, while his release clause has been set at €1bn (£870m).

The 20-year-old arrived at Bernabeu from Rennes in August 2021, and he has represented the La Liga outfit on 114 occasions, scoring twice and registering five assists in the process.

Camavinga has again been an important player this season, making 15 appearances in all competitions, and his agent Jonathan Barnett has said that the midfielder wants to finish his career at the club.

"It's fantastic. It's a dream for everybody, he loves Real Madrid. For sure, he wants to stay in Madrid all his life," Barnett told El Chiringuito.

Meanwhile, Camavinga said after signing the contract: "Real Madrid is a dream, it's my life. Since I was a child I wanted to play here and now it has come true. I'm very proud to stay at Real Madrid and play in the mythical Bernabeu.

"It was very quick to reach 100 games, but when I go out on the field I don't think if I have played 50 or 30 matches, I play for each game.

"My main motivation? My family. When I see that they're very proud of me, I want to play more. When I play and put on the shirt it's for them, for the Madridistas and for this club."

Camavinga was also asked about his teammates at Real Madrid, and he reserved special praise for fellow midfielders Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.

"We have the same mentality, the same vision of football. It's easier to play with them," he added.

"When you play with players like Modric or Kroos you gain more experience. I like to look at them and that's why I have more technique and more calmness than in my first year here."

Camavinga has again been used as a left-back at times this season, but he has primarily played in central midfield and is likely to be given a run in that position due to Aurelien Tchouameni's recent injury.

Real Madrid have also recently announced new contracts for Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, with Federico Valverde and Eder Militao thought to be next in line when it comes to fresh long-term deals.
