  "account": "Real Madrid hold the belief that Jose Mourinho can transform under-performing star Eduardo Camavinga into a highly valued €100 million player, according to a recent report by Abraham Romero for Defensa Central. Camavinga's future at the club had become uncertain due to concerns over his form and increased competition in the midfield, but his importance to Mourinho's plans became clear during pre-season. The French midfielder has remained a key figure in Mourinho's lineup, playing a total of 405 minutes in pre-season matches against various teams, a testament to his value in Mourinho's eyes. Romero explained that the club's confidence in Camavinga's potential was strengthened by the decision not to sign another major midfielder, Rodri, who would have likely relegated Camavinga to a secondary role. With Mourinho's guidance, the 23-year-old could reach the echelon of players commanding €100-120 million in the Premier League, potentially solidifying his position as a cornerstone of the Real Madrid midfield.",
