According to transfer news from Football.london, Chelsea have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Eduardo Camavinga. The French teenager has been linked to Chelsea for a while now but no talks were held regarding the same.
The 18-year-old defensive midfielder burst onto the scenes in 2019 and enjoyed a spectacular season with Rennes, helping them qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
However, the Ligue 1 outfit has struggled to perform at the same level this term. And following the sacking of manager Julian Stephan, who played a crucial role in Camavinga’s rise at the club, the midfielder is now considering his future at the club.
The Blues have a packed midfield department as things stand, with N’Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic vying for the starting spots while Billy Gilmour provides an option from the bench.
However, Jorginho has been linked with a return to Italy. In addition, Kante’s fitness troubles in recent times have shown that it wouldn’t be the worst idea to bring in a long-term replacement for the Frenchman, who could eventually take over from him.
Camavinga, in that scenario, would be the perfect addition to the Chelsea ranks. His agent, Jonathan Barnett has opened the door to a transfer in the future.
“I’m expecting three or four very big deals of my own that will break a lot of records. Hopefully, they’ll come about. For the smaller clubs, I think there won’t be as many transfers.
We have some very good players. We have probably the best young player in the world in Camavinga. We’ve got (Jack) Grealish. We’ve got Konate at Leipzig.”
What makes Camavinga an even more attractive prospect is that he will be entering the final year of his contract with Rennes at the end of the season. That would mean he could be available at a bargain price in the summer.
