Real Madrid have been looking for a midfielder for a while, and with the summer transfer fast approaching, the club is keen on ending their search. However, there's some debate as to who they should bring in: Zidane prefers Paul Pogba, but the club has set their sights on Rennes' young talent Eduardo Camavinga, according to 'Mundo Deportivo'.
Pogba or Camavinga. That's the question. Real Madrid has questions as to which midfielder should end up at Santiago Bernabéu next season. Zidane likes the first option better and has often praised the fellow Frenchman and given him nods, but the club prefer the up-and-coming Rennes player.
This is what the newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' said on Saturday, reminding us that Pogba will most probably leave Old Trafford this summer. There have been rumours for a long time, but the latest back and forth between his agent, Mino Raiola, and the manager of Manchester United, Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer could be the last nail in the coffin in Pogba's relationship with the Premier League club.
The player has had little impact this season due to injury and has also indicated his intention to leave. But in the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu, Eduardo Camavinga's name has started to gather more attention.
At just 17, Camavinga is already a starter at Rennes. Born in Angola, but with a French passport, the midfielder, who was also on Barça's radar, is a surprise to half of Europe despite his young age.
He has been followed at Real Madrid for some time now. Even so, they have yet to make contact with him, waiting for Zinedine Zidane to give the green light to his incorporation. The player from Rennes has a contract with the French team until 2022 and the operation could be closed for around 60 million euros, the same amount Real Madrid would be prepared to spend on Pogba.
