Eduardo Camavinga could be available at a knockdown price.
We knew there would be a discount due to the French wonderkid having just one year left on his contract. But we had not thought the price could be this cheap.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano says Rennes may be willing to cash in for just 30 million Euros; that’s £25.7m.
This would represent outstanding business for United especially in light of landing Jadon Sancho for £72 million.
Camavinga is one of the best young talents in European football and could be a long term replacement for Paul Pogba.
While he is not stylistically the defensive midfield player United need at present, he could grow into that role, or simply become a replacement for Pogba, short term or long term.
Pogba likewise has just one year remaining on his contract and it is unclear if he will renew. PSG could make a push for his signature.
Camavinga is simply too good to turn down at this kind of price. At £50-60 million it could be argued he would be a luxury signing. At £25 million the 18-year-old would be a clever investment.
The teenager has already played for France’s senior side and has played more than 80 first team games for Rennes. He has a big future ahead of him, and it is looking like it could be with Manchester United.
