Rennes demand at least £62m for Manchester United target Eduardo Camavinga
According to Spanish publication MARCA, as relayed by the Daily Star, Manchester United will have to shell out ‘at least £62m‘ for the signing of Rennes midfield wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga.
The 18-year-old midfielder came through the youth ranks at Rennes and made his breakthrough into the first-team towards the end of the 2018/19 season.
However, it was the 2019/20 campaign when he established himself as one of the best young defensive midfielders across Europe, helping his team to a third-place finish in Ligue 1.

With Nemanja Matic not getting any younger, we will be in need of a new defensive midfielder sooner rather than later. And, Camavinga, given his early potential can be a brilliant signing.
However, the transfer fee, along with the competition for his signing, can make things difficult.
