In a dramatic twist of the transfer saga, Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has put Manchester United on high alert regarding their pursuit of star midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. With reports swirling about United's interest, Alonso has publicly emphasized the French international's vital role in his squad.

While Manchester United has successfully poached players like Ángel Di María, Raphaël Varane, and Casemiro from Los Blancos in recent years, their luck may not hold this time. Although they are eyeing Camavinga, who is also attractive to clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle, Alonso's recent statements suggest that the budding star's future lies firmly in Madrid.

Alonso expressed his excitement over Camavinga’s potential, stating, "He hasn’t been with us for long, but I know his capabilities. He has both the quality and motivation to succeed. He adds a dynamic element to our midfield and is integral to our plans moving forward."

Camavinga, now 22, made a noteworthy return to action in Real Madrid's victory against Espanyol, marking his first competitive game since April. With a wealth of talent and a track record that includes La Liga and Champions League titles, it's clear why Madrid is keen to retain him.

Reports suggest that Camavinga turned down multiple offers from Premier League clubs in the summer, aligning with Alonso's intent to keep him at the Santiago Bernabéu. As Madrid seeks to hold onto key talents, it seems United's hopes of securing Camavinga anytime soon have been dashed.

As discussions linger about Federico Valverde's potential exit and other transfer news, one thing is clear: the Red Devils may need to adjust their plans as Real Madrid remains steadfast in keeping its prized players.
