Blow for Manchester United as highly-rated target Eduardo Camavinga 'closes in on £25.7m move to PSG'... with French giants set to beat Premier League side and Real Madrid to the teenage sensation
* Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly set to join PSG for £25.7million
* The move will come as a blow to Manchester United and Real Madrid
* He played 39 games for Rennes last season including four in Champions League
Manchester United and Real Madrid's hopes of landing teenage sensation Eduardo Camavinga has been dealt with a blow as the 18-year-old reportedly closes in on a move to PSG.
Camavinga is one of the hottest young prospects after his performances in midfield for Rennes last season and he has been linked with a move to some of Europe's top clubs - including Man United and Real Madrid.
According to Ouest-France, as per L'Equipe, the youngster is close to joining PSG for £25.7m.
United were reportedly in the market for a midfielder amid rumours Paul Pogba could be on his way to PSG.
The 28-year-old now looks set to stay with the club - for another year at least - meaning interest in the Rennes midfielder has cooled off.
The signing of Camavinga may impact PSG's chase for the United midfielder. The Parisians were reportedly willing to offer Pogba £510,000-a-week if he joins them for free next summer.
Camavinga has a year remaining on his contract and Rennes manager Bruno Genesio, earlier this summer confirmed the club would like to sort out his situation - whether it means he stays or goes.
Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly set to join PSG for £25.7m according to reports in France. Camavinga's performances led to him being called up for the senior France team in 2020. Paul Pogba has one year remaining on his contract and looks set to stay at United this season
He said: ‘We have already stressed several times that we cannot afford to remain in this situation concerning an international player like him.
‘It’s part of a career to have important decisions to make, he has a very important one (decision) to make for his future, and we at the club also have our interests to defend.
‘I hope we find a solution that everyone is satisfied with.’
Should a deal be finalised, Camavinga will become PSG's sixth signing of the summer having already signed Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi and Gini Winjaldum.
