Operation 'Convincing Camavinga' has been launched in Rennes. As reported by AS, François Pinault, 83, a magnate and owner of the Breton club, has given Instructions for the 17-year-old Franco-Angolan to follow the coming season and turn a deaf ear to the interest of clubs like Real Madrid, with whom there have already been contacts. And it is not characterized by having a soft hand: in February the previous president, Olivier Létang, was fired because he negotiated with the Chamarín club for the midfielder behind the shareholders' meeting.
First was his coach, Julien Stéphan, who began to persuade his sought-after player that the best thing for his career would be to continue at least one more year in Rennes: “I always give him advice to stay one more season at Rennes because it is his training club. I think he has one or two stages left before making the leap for a great one ”. And then it was him new president Nicolas Holveck, who followed the roadmap marked from above. The Breton team will play the next preliminary phase of the Champions League, encouragement for the Pinault (François delegated the management of the entity to his son François-Henri) to avoid the flight of his best players. And Camavinga, without a doubt, is a pillar. “The priority will be to keep our team, which has shown all its talent in this fantastic season. We will have to be smart in the transfer market to improve the team and form the best possible in order to pass this qualification round, “said Holveck at L’Equipe Chaine and France Blue. But the player intended by Real Madrid (he has a contract until 2022 and without any freedom clause) is also receiving advice from his dressing room mates, who want him to stay on the ship.
One of them confessed, M'Baye Niang, in a live on Instagram with beIN SPORTS journalist Smaïl Bouabdellah. “He is a man with his head on his shoulders, I know that his parents, who know where they want to go … The advice I have to give you is to make the right decisions. I talked to him, I won't talk about it here, but I've already talked to him, that in life it's better to make the right decisions than to go too fast. Because at some point, you have requests where you say to yourself: “How am I going to reject if there are guys like Zidane or Mourinho who call? At that moment, you really have to ask yourself and say:” What are these people going to bring me? “, said the Rennes striker in statements collected by the French press. “The Rennes coach gave you things, and if you leave this club will bring you more, it will make you grow. I told him to make the right decisions, to speak to his representatives, to his parents, to look at young people his age in these clubs. Their parents know what they want, this is the most important thing. You really should take this seriously because you can pay for bad decisions ”he sentenced.
Rennes is pushing for Camavinga to continue for at least one more season and mark territory after being third in Ligue 1. Its splendid economic situation benefits it in the market pulse since it does not need to make cash. It is to keep their jewel or, in the case of transferring it because the player decides so, they would try to do it for a high amount, something that the coronavirus crisis makes unlikely. The Franco-Angolan, for his part, has already stated that he will make a decision about his future when the football season in Europe ends.
