According to AS.
Real Madrid’s midfield prodigy Eduardo Camavinga is set to take on a new mantle next season, with reports suggesting he will inherit the number 6 jersey. This shift follows the departure of veteran defender Nacho Fernandez, who wore the number for several seasons before leaving for a new challenge in Qatar.
Camavinga’s association with number 6 extends beyond Real Madrid. The young midfielder sported the same number during his time with the French national team and his breakout stint at Stade Rennais. The switch signifies not only the club’s faith in Camavinga’s burgeoning talent but also his potential to become a mainstay in the Real Madrid midfield for years to come.
This development opens up the number 12 jersey, currently donned by Camavinga, for a new signing or existing squad member. Camavinga himself wore number 25 during his debut season at Real Madrid before transitioning to number 12 following the departure of Marcelo. The change to number 6 represents a clear statement of intent from both Camavinga and the club, solidifying his position as a key figure in Real Madrid’s future.
