Real Madrid: Why Eduardo Camavinga is a priority over Kylian Mbappe

Financial aspects of the deal

Real Madrid President Florentino Perez is an astute operator when it comes to transfers and finances, however even Real Madrid have been hit hard with the impact of the coronavirus like all other sporting institutions. PSG are willing to make superstar forward Kylian Mbappe their poster boy, keeping in mind his relationship with the city of Paris.

The project at PSG is a lucrative one for Mbappe both on and off the pitch and it puts Real’s pursuit of Mbappe in a precarious position. On the other hand, the financial aspect of the deal in the case of Eduardo Camavinga seems much more positive. Even the player is keen on a move next season, and he has seemingly communicated this to his current club amid interest from PSG. A deal next season would be ideal for all parties involved including Rennes and the player as well, as it would allow him to get the opportunity to add to his game before making the switch to the Bernabeu.

As Camavinga looks set to stay at Rennes for another year, one hopes that he continues the stellar performances that have put him on Real Madrid’s radar in the first place.
