Madness at the end of the market. If yesterday all eyes were on the figure of Mbappe, around 11:00 p.m. the news broke. According to Canal Plus France, Madrid and Rennes reached an agreement in principle for Camavinga late yesterday and it could be made official in the next few hours. Information that was later confirmed by AS from sources of the negotiation and that supposes the “revenge” of Florentino by the case Mbappé.
And it is that although the interest of Real Madrid for the Franco-Angolan comes from afar, PSG was one of the biggest boosters for this footballer. ANDThe Parisian club wanted to sign him this summer but, with the arrival of Wijnaldum in the middle of the field, they decided to wait one more campaign to be able to bring him free from 2022. However, hours after Madrid and PSG broke the negotiation for Mbappé, the white team went ahead to 'steal' from their rival one of the greatest pearls of French football.
The midfielder has been on Madrid's radar for months, which was already interested in his situation at the beginning of the year. The interest of clubs, such as PSG and United, and the departure of Zidane seemed to be obstacles to his arrival. It's more, Madrid already had in mind the intention of incorporating his compatriot Pogba, who ends his contract with United in 2022, in the next market. However, if Camavinga finally arrives, that movement would stop as there are already enough players in that position.
Young talent
Thus, Madrid continues with its policy of signing young players from the last years. Camavinga joins the list of Valverde, Vinicius, Rodrygo, etc. The 18-year-old Franco-Angolan is a player who, despite his youth, has now been in the elite of French football for two seasons. He has even made his debut with the French national team. He has participated in three games in which he has scored a goal. If the arrival of Camavinga is finally made official, Madrid will acquire a future midfielder sought after by some of the most powerful clubs in Europe. If everything continues its course, in the next few hours Madrid will announce the signing of the midfielder.
