Camavinga is perhaps experiencing his most challenging season at Real Madrid yet. With Toni Kroos gone, Aurelien Tchouameni shuffling between defence and midfield, and the injury to Dani Ceballos last month, the 22-year-old was expected to become a crucial cog in Ancelotti's midfield. However, relentless struggles with fitness (he has missed 18 games this season) and an inability to produce convincing performances have given Ancelotti quite the headache.
While the higher-ups at Madrid do not doubt Camavinga's potential, they are concerned about his lack of development, given that he hasn't taken a huge leap during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu.
