Manchester United will meet with the representatives of Eduardo Camavinga this week to talk about a possible move for the Rennes midfielder.
Camavinga is among the most sought-after young midfielders in world football following his splendid performances at Rennes in the course of the last three seasons, become the club’s youngest ever debutant when showing up as a 16-year-old in December 2018.
Manchester United was linked with Camavinga last year but their interest eventually cooled down. The midfielder has since attracted the interest of Europe’s clubs, while he turned into the youngest player to make his senior debut for France during a Nations League match against Croatia in September.
Camavinga has only a year left on his current contract with Rennes and it seems that he will not sign another new contract, with Paris Saint-Germain firmly linked with a move for the French midfielder.
Reports have emerged this week stating that Manchester United has risen as potential admirers of Camavinga and as indicated by French outlet, RMC, the Red Devils will hold talks with the player’s representatives this week over a possible move to Old Trafford.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is quick to strengthen his midfield this summer and Camavinga’s versatility would add another choice to the side’s midfield engine, with the 18-year-old open to working as a profound deep-lying number six, a position that will also help to open Pogba’s position and let him play more offensively.
Manchester United’s current need is to complete the signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund with a contract already in place, and much may rely upon Rennes’ asking price with reports having proposed the Ligue 1 club are looking for a charge of €100m, in spite of Camavinga’s contract issue.
PSG remains the top picks and Camavinga is perceived to think about a move to the Parc des Princes, however, the Parisians are prepared to adopt a patient strategy in a bid to bring down the midfielder’s asking price. After the arrival of Wijnaldum, PSG is currently targeting other players.
This seems to be the best situation for Manchester United to sign Camavinga this summer.
