18 year-old footballer Eduardo Camavinga has signed for Real Madrid from Rennes on a six year deal.

No Mbappe, no problem. Real Madrid have pulled off the signing of a sensational talent in Eduardo Camavinga.

The 18 year-old is one of the brightest talents in French football and Real Madrid, after pulling out of negotiations for Kylian Mbappe, will not leave France empty handed.

It is also a huge blow for PSG as they were also very keen on the French midfielder who was born in Angola.

Camavinga had already been linked with a move away last summer when Rennes qualified for the Champions League, but he stayed at the club. There was little chance of Camavinga joining Madrid this summer until Monday night when talks with PSG over Kylian Mbappe were called off due to a lack of agreement on the price.

The footballer, who has three caps for France, made 88 appearances for Rennes, starting 68 times, and scoring twice in the process. He also assisted on four occasions.

Camavinga could make his Madrid debut on 12th September against Celta Vigo.
