Real Madrid is no longer the only team interested in signing the young and talented French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. With other irons on fire, like Kylian Mbappé, the Spanish giants may be resisting the rumored £ 50 million price tag.
In recent weeks, Manchester United have shown interest in the 18-year-old Rennes who only have one year left on their contract.
According to the latest report from The Mirror, United have joined Arsenal to investigate the player, whose agent is the Englishman Jonathan Barnett.
Camavinga is a box-to-box midfielder who covers the ground well and attacks with strength for his age. He is also capable of quick feet and dribbling skills to create space.
Having been called up to the French senior team last year, he recently became the youngest player to represent and score for France in more than 100 years.
His average passing percentage per game stat is 89%, while he makes 2.6 tackles.
Barnett recently spoke about player a, saying, ‘His character is incredibly strong. It is not the average of 18 years. Playing in front of 100,000 people is not going to scare you. He is a lovely boy and I think he will be a superstar.
The agent also mentioned that he is ready for the Premier League.
Having narrowly missed signing Jude Bellingham last year, who opted for Borussia Dortmund, United can now look to fill that void in the squad with the talented young Camavinga.
It is clear that the Reds are looking for reinforcements in the midfield.
For United, which has also been linked to West Ham’s Declan Rice, Camavinga may represent better long-term value while offering a little more going forward than Rice.
One thing’s for sure, with the help of newly appointed sporting and technical directors Darren Fletcher and John Murtough respectively, United must have an exceptional transfer window in the summer if they want to come close to closing the gap with Manchester City and winning the Premier League.
