2020 did not necessarily end in fireworks for Eduardo Camavinga, a little less sharp with Stade Rennais.
Not enough to erase the beautiful promises shown by the midfielder for two years and which have seduced the biggest clubs in Europe.
Eager to inject new blood into his midfield, Real Madrid would have made the French neo-international his priority for next summer according to the Spanish press.
An interest that flatters the main interested party.
“It's nice when a big club is interested in you.
But I keep a cool head, I'm at Stade Rennais, ”Camavinga said in an interview with
Canal Football Club.
.
The 18-year-old, who recently entrusted his interests to one of the most influential agents in world football, England's Jonathan Barnett, is not closing the door on a departure to Spain this summer.
"We will take the time at the end of the season, we will sit down to the table and we will weigh the pros and cons," he says.
"I may be doing too much"
Eduardo Camavinga
Voted the most influential agent in the world in 2019 by Forbes magazine, Jonathan Barnett has a good relationship with Florentino Pérez.

While waiting to join, perhaps Zinédine Zidane and Karim Benzema, the player of Angolan origin lives a daydream.
Especially since his shattering debut in blue.
On October 7, he became the highest scorer in the history of the France team against Ukraine.
"It's crazy !
I could never have thought of getting there so quickly, I was like crazy, I looked everywhere!
You see them on TV ... see them in real life like that, it feels weird ... ”, funs three months later a Camavinga, also quick to make his self-criticism when it is suggested that he tends to force his voice. game lately and to keep the ball too.
“I've been told that before.
I'm more careful now.
It is perhaps that since I am tightened, that I have less the ball, I am doing too much perhaps.
Normally, I'm a little dribbler, but there are areas where you have to make fewer touches of balls, and that's where I have to improve. "
Words certainly received with interest by his trainer Julien Stéphan.
No doubt also with another French coach in Spain.
