Transfer News: Manchester United target Eduardo Camavinga targeting a move to PSG

According to transfer news from Foot Mercato (h/t Daily Star), Eduardo Camavinga is pushing for a move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer amidst interest from Manchester United.

Manchester United have been keen on adding quality depth to their ranks this summer, despite the club already boasting the likes of Donny van de Beek, Bruno Fernandes, Nemanja Matic, Fred, Scott McTominay, and Paul Pogba. However, things might change soon at Old Trafford.

Manchester United will make a move for Leon Goretzka if they fail to land Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga.
Will Eduardo Camavinga move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window as things stand?

Paul Pogba’s future at United has been uncertain for quite a while, and the player is now in the final year of his current contract at Old Trafford. That Pogba has refused a contract extension means that the club could lose him on a free transfer next year unless he leaves this summer itself. 

Camavinga’s ability to play as a central midfielder as well as a defensive midfielder would have caught the eye of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but it does not look like the player himself is keen on a move to England. 

The player is keen on moving to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, while his agents want him to sign for the Old Trafford outfit, as per French foot Mercato (h/t Daily Star).

United have already completed the signing of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane this summer and should they manage to sign Camavinga from Rennes, it would be incredible business on their part. However, only time will tell if the French wonderkid changes his mind and signs for the Red Devils this summer.
