Arsenal in Eduardo Camavinga transfer blow as Carlo Ancelotti tells Mikel Arteta midfielder is ‘untouchable’
REAL MADRID manager Carlo Ancelotti has issued a hands off warning to Arsenal over Eduardo Camavinga amid links with a move to the Emirates.
Arsenal are hoping to bolster their squad in their bid to win the Premier League.
And reports suggested that the French midfielder was on Gunners boss Mikel Arteta’s radar.
Camavinga, 20, is currently behind Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Federico Valverde in the pecking order at the Bernabeu.
But despite this, Ancelotti does not want to lose the Spanish league and Champions League winner, either on loan or on a permanent transfer.
Ancelotti said: “He’s untouchable, like Modric and Kroos.”
Camavinga’s agent has also rubbished reports of a potential loan to Arsenal or Chelsea.
The midfielder is happy in the Spanish capital and Real are happy with him.
Agent Joshua Barnett told Fabrizio Romano: “There’s no truth.
“Of course every club in the world would want him, but he’s very happy in Real Madrid and Real Madrid are very happy with Camavinga.”
