Transfer News: Chelsea to battle Manchester United for Eduardo Camavinga

According to transfer news from Daily Star, Chelsea are all set to battle Manchester United for the signing of Eduardo Camavinga. The teenage star from Rennes sees his contract end in 2022. Manchester United are said to be working on a £25m deal for him but the Blues have joined the chase too.

A youth product of Drapeau-Fougeres, Camavinga started his career in 2008 and moved to Rennes’ youth setup in 2013. Signing his first pro contract in 2018, he became the youngest player ever to pen a professional deal with the club.

Camavinga is one of France’s finest young talents

Since debuting for the club back in 2019, Camavinga has come leaps and bounds over the last two seasons. The midfielder has become a mainstay in the Rennes side while also making his mark in the national team. So far, he has made more than 80 appearances for the French side, scoring twice and assisting five.

One of the brightest emerging talents to emerge over the last few seasons, it is easy to see why so many sides are after him. Manchester United were understood to be leading the race for him with a £25m deal. However, Chelsea have now entered the fray and also made direct contact with Rennes over a potential deal.

At just 18 years of age, Camavinga is one of the most coveted youngsters in Europe. The talented midfielder is likely to leave Rennes this summer and Chelsea have also made their move. While it will not be straightforward, Camavinga’s reduced price tag and contract situation makes him an appealing prospect to go after.
