Eduardo Camavinga reacts to Jeremy Doku’s message amid Man City transfer rumours
Jeremy Doku caught the attention of Man City-linked Eduardo Camavinga following a simple 2-0 victory against Leicester City.
Mick Brown told Football Insider that Camavina is open to leaving Real Madrid for Man City, with the midfielder only starting nine matches in La Liga this season.
If the rumours are true, the Frenchman was likely watching on as Pep Guardiola’s side dispatched the Foxes on Wednesday, 2 April, even despite the ongoing fan protests at the Etihad Stadium.
Jack Grealish fired Man City into an early lead, hitting the back of the net after just two minutes, with Omar Marmoush doubling the home side’s lead just 27 minutes later.
While Doku was not at his free-flowing best on the night, he still managed to cause chaos down the left flank and celebrated the victory alongside his teammates as City took a step towards Champions League qualification.

Taking to Instagram [3 April], Doku wrote: “Job done and one step closer to our goal. Derby up next, we keep pushing. All glory to God,” with Camavinga liking the post.
Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch, Aston Villa’s Youri Tielemans and Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina all liked the winger’s message, with City teammate Savinho replying with fire and lightning emojis.

Football Insider verdict
Guardiola has a difficult summer transfer window ahead of him, with Kevin De Bruyne coming to the end of his time at Man City, Ilkay Gundogan, Mateo Kovacic, and Bernardo Silva all ageing in the squad.
However, all focus right now will be on City finishing the current campaign in the best form, especially with Champions League qualification riding on their remaining eight fixtures.
| Premier League standings | Points |
| 4. Chelsea | 52 |
| 5. Man City | 51 |
| 6. Newcastle United | 50 |
| 7. Aston Villa | 48 |
Camavinga, who can play midfield and full-back, is only likely to be open to a move to the Etihad Stadium if the club are playing in the Champions League next season, which is not yet guaranteed.
Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Brighton are all fighting for a top-four spot, and with a handful of matches remaining, there is plenty of time remaining for twists and turns in City’s league season.
Despite the additions of Nico Gonzalez, Marmoush, and Abdukodir Khusanov, City’s campaign has not massively improved, so a summer overhaul will be expected once the transfer window opens.
