Eduardo Camavinga (Miconge, 17 years old) will play next season at Rennes. The French pearl, claimed by the Real Madrid, will be one more year in Ligue 1, something that seems to have not surprised its sports director, Florian maurice, which downplayed the decision in statements to L'Équipe: “I had no doubt that he would continue. The decision had been made by the club before because we did not want to part with him. For Eduardo, the idea of playing the Champions League with his home club is a dream. And he wants to continue the adventure here. “
Camavinga will fulfill, in this way, “his dream” of playing in the Champions League with Rennes.

The 'soap opera Camavinga' will take a break, postponing itself to next summer, but there the atmosphere will be even more heated. The player ends his contract in June 2022, so the next market Rennes will have to sell it if they don't want it to be free. It will be the great opportunity for her suitors.
