“I'm going to play goalie!” – Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga buys a versatile stereotype

In the last 12 months, Eduardo Camavinga has become a very important player for Real Madrid. That started last season when he was entrusted to fill in at left back, due to the poor performances and injury problems of Ferland Mendy, who will regain the position this season.

Since then, Camavinga has become a meme for being incredibly versatile, to the point where people joke that he could have played in goal for Thibaut Courtois who suffered an ACL tear earlier this season. The French international, speaking to Telefoot (via AS Diary), admitted that he would play wherever asked.

“Even if they make me play goalie, I'm going to play goalie!”

Camavinga loves life at Real Madrid, which he signed from Rennes in 2021. Despite links with the Premier League over the last year, he admitted that he just wants to stay in the Spanish capital for the rest of his career.

“If I can finish my career at Real Madrid, of course, I want to finish my life here. Real Madrid is everyone's dream.”

Camavinga is expected to take part in this summer's European Championship with France, and has locked his hair if Les Bleus win the tournament. He also commented that he would also like to play in the Olympics, which are being held in Paris.

“The European Championship is the goal of all the French, we want to win. And the Olympics, this is also a goal. We are thinking about the European Championship and then we will put ourselves in place for the Olympics. If we win the Championship European? I will sell my locks in blue, white and red.

If Camavinga was present at both tournaments, it would mean he misses the entire pre-season with them Real Madridwhich is something that club officials would not be too happy about.
