That includes a goal and two assists in 19 outings across competitions this season. Both assists have come in La Liga, where Los Blancos trail leaders Barcelona on goal difference with 14 games remaining.
Despite being contracted to the Bernabeu till 2029, Camavinga has had a stop-start 2024-25 campaign, sparking speculations of a potential exit. As per Fichajes.net, the Parisians are looking to bring the Frenchman back to his home country.
Los Blancos, for their part, might not be reluctant to part ways with the youngster as they seek a more suitable reinforcement in the middle of the park. Camavinga has won nine titles with the club, including two La Liga-UEFA Champions League doubles, the latest of which came last season.
