Real Madrid are ready to spend big on Eduardo Camavinga.

From Fabian Ruiz to Paul Pogba, Real Madrid have been linked to a who’s who of the best midfielders in European football.

But their top target appears to be teenage sensation Eduardo Camavinga, who enjoyed a tremendous 2019-2020 season in Ligue 1.

With Pogba looking increasingly likely to stay at Manchester United, Real seem ready to spend their money on a slightly cheaper and much younger midfielder in Camavinga, who is already one of Europe’s best.

According to a report from RMC Sport, Real Madrid are showing increased interest in the Rennes midfielder and are prepared to spend as much as 70 million euros on the future superstar player.

Zinedine Zidane still hasn’t given up on signing Pogba, whom he tried to sign in 2019, but just like last summer, he will be too expensive for Los Blancos.

And they don’t really have anyone they can use to sign Pogba in a swap deal.

Camavinga isn’t cheap either, and 70 million euros may be seen as overpay by some.

But that’s what it will take for Real Madrid to sign him, given that Rennes may be headed for the Champions League and reportedly have a pact with the player on staying during Champions League football.

It’s tough to get a read on the situation here, but it is clear that Camavinga is a tremendous player who can be Casemiro’s immediate backup and future successor in the No. 6 role. And Camavinga is more than just a defensive midfielder due to his great passing and ability to progress the ball as a dribbler.

Last season, Camavinga recorded two assists and completed 87.7 percent of his passes in Ligue 1, per WhoScored.com. The 17-year-old also recorded 4.2 tackles per game, 1.4 interceptions, per game, and drew more fouls (2.4) than he made (1.9). So Camavinga is already a star.
