Camavinga has struggled for playing time at Real Madrid this season, making only seven starts in La Liga.
It has been a tumultuous season for the Spanish club, and he was one of the players criticized following their recent Copa del Rey elimination at the hands of Albacete.
Despite this, the 23-year-old is highly regarded at Anfield for his versatility, capable of performing at a high level in both defensive midfield and left-back roles, as noted in the report.
Camavinga made the switch to Madrid from Rennes in 2021 and is under contract with the 15-time European champions until 2029. Despite the hefty price tag, Liverpool remains resolute in their pursuit and is currently determined to make the deal happen.

Liverpool Initiates Contact for Camavinga
“Some initial communications have taken place, but the response has been a firm ‘no’, regardless of the offer,” the report states.
“Liverpool is pursuing this transfer with the belief that the situation could change.”
The French international has won two Champions League titles with Real Madrid since his arrival, yet signs may indicate a potential shift in his future with the club.
“Liverpool is eager to enhance their midfield depth to alleviate some of the burden on Ryan Gravenberch, especially with uncertainties surrounding Curtis Jones’ long-term role,” the report continues.

Reports linking Camavinga to Liverpool have surfaced various times over the past few months.
In addition to his primary role as a defensive midfielder, Camavinga is known for his exceptional progressive passing abilities and can also play further up the pitch. Under Carlo Ancelotti, he has even been deployed as a left-back, potentially giving manager Arne Slot additional options as Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas prepare to leave.
If Liverpool can negotiate a deal for Camavinga, they could effectively bolster their squad with three world-class players for a transfer fee between £70m and £87m. It would be wise for the club to act quickly if a deal becomes feasible.
