What was originally intended to be a stop-gap solution during the World Cup has become something much more permanent. Camavinga's performances at left-back were so good that Didier Deschamps' idea, that seemed so far-fetched at the time, was taken on by Carlo Ancelotti.
Although this wasn't his preferred position, the Italian coach realised quickly that the young Frenchman was someone who could deliver as left-back.
Whether in the Champions League, against opponents like Chelsea or Man City, or in the domestic league against Barcelona, the Frenchman has proven himself to be a decisive player, despite a few errors. His performances have even garnered praise from Luka Modric.
However, it's no secret that the former Rennes player is much less happy in defense than in midfield. Deschamps himself recalled it recently. Camavinga as well has not been shy about voicing his unhappiness in his position.
Now, according to 'El Confidencial', Camavinga has put pressure on the higher-ups to give him back his place in midfield. According to the Spanish outlet, the 20-year-old is supposedly adamant about returning to his preferred spot as soon as possible.
Aware of the issue, Madrid are looking for a solution, and several left-backs have been under consideration, like Fran Garcia. As for Camavinga himself, he certainly can't be thrilled about the arrival of Jude Bellingham, who would definitely see him locked out of the midfield for several seasons.
