Real Madrid have had the central midfielder on their radar for some time, but The Mirror reports that the Spanish club’s financial difficulties may now force them to prioritise their transfer spending on other areas. And that’s the same for the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, who may not be prepared to shell out on the Frenchman.
That leaves the door open for Arsenal and Manchester United, with reports claiming that both clubs are keen to add the French prospect to their ranks, though the Gunners salary offer could depend on whether Mikel Arteta is able to confirm European football next season, with their fate currently out of their own hands.
Old Trafford may be a more realistic move for the Frenchman, with United looking to upgrade their central midfield options and having shown a willingness to integrate young players into their first-team squad.
Camavinga became the youngest ever professional for Rennes when he made his senior debut at the age of 16 years, one month. He also became the youngest player for France since 1914 in his debut in October 2020.
