Rennes lose their great trick to retain Camavinga

Despite the fact that in recent months the rumors have subsided, Eduardo Camavinga is still one of the names marked in phosphor on the Real Madrid agenda. The coronavirus crisis made the whites decide to wait a little longer to undertake their signing and the latest information pointed to a possible player renewal which ends contract in 2022. In fact, the midfielder himself had stated that “it would be a pleasure for me to continue at Rennes“.

But in recent hours there has been an event that could give a 180 degree turn to the “Camavinga case”, nothing more and nothing less than the resignation of Julien Stéphan, the coach who land made his debut both in the Rennes subsidiary and in the first team. Julien Stéphan was one of the main reasons why Camavinga was happy in his team, with a coach who knew him perfectly and who had trusted him from the first moment.

“When I was appointed coach of the professionals I took it with me to training. I didn't look if I was 16 or 20. Talent does not know how old it is and when it is ready it has to be that way, period “, explained Julien Stéphan in an interview with Diario As last April.

The coach was the first to recommend to follow one more season, the actual, in your training club to “confirm that jump in quality” and so far I was giving it a good amount of minutes (1887) both in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League. He acted as a “protector” of the French and did not hesitate to come out in his defense as when he asked that he stop making news every day and that “I needed peace “ when Camavinga changed his representative and chose Barnett, Gareth Bale's agent.

For this reason, Camavinga himself has not been slow in sending a message to and his former coach in social networks when his resignation has been made official. “Coach, I sincerely thank you for everything because thanks to you I discovered the” adult “world from the N3 (Championnat National 3) until Ligue 1 also passing through the Champions League. I owe you a lot and you have always given me the best conditions, Thanks for your tips, God bless you”.

Julien Stéphan's departure means the loss of one of Camavinga's most trusted men at Rennes And it can be a crucial move for your signing. The young player was willing to talk about his renewal “there will be negotiations to renew me“, But the resignation of the man who made him debut may be the last push I needed to decide to make the leap to a European great this summer.

Ending contract in 2022 this summer is key to your departure since it is the last chance that Rennes would have to get a good sale. Without Julien Stéphan it seems more complicated for Camavinga to renew his contract so the signing of one of those wanted by Real Madrid is reactivated by surprise.
