Eduardo Camavinga He is one of the most desired footballers of the moment. The young French midfielder, only 17 years old, plays for the Rennes, but it is already wanted by the greats of the continent. Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund or Manchester United are some of the groups that are on his trail.
However, it had not transpired that the one who knocked directly on the Rennes door was the Atlético de Madrid. It happened last summer, after the explosive appearance of this midfielder. And the French club said 'no' to the proposal of the mattress entity.
It has been confirmed by the one who was president of Rennes at that time, Olivier Létang, in a French program, Late Football Club.
“Contacts with Real Madrid? That is not true and that I know the Real Madrid leaders very well. But I know, because there was total transparency with their representatives, that there were approaches at the level of interest. But I, as president of the Stade Rennais, I have never been contacted by Real Madrid. There was contact with Atlético de Madrid, but that was in June 2019, and I closed the door immediately because there was no way for Eduardo to leave us, ”the former Rennes president stated bluntly.
With a contract until 2022, its market value has grown exponentially in recent months. Since Atlético went after him until today, he has multiplied almost tenfold. Something that, at the moment, places him outside the orbit of the mattress club, which tried last summer without success.
Rennes is convinced that Camavinga it will continue at least one more season in France. For now, the sports director Florian maurice He recently indicated that they would not accept an offer of 80 million euros for the French player.
