Madrid target Camavinga to pen new Rennes deal?

Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga reveals that he is open to extending his stay with the French club, despite frequent speculation regarding a switch to Real Madrid.

Eduardo Camavinga has suggested that he is open to penning a new contract with Rennes in the near future.

Having already established himself as a key man at the Ligue 1 outfit, the 18-year-old has inevitably been linked with a transfer to a bigger club.

Real Madrid are regarded as the favourites to eventually sign the teenager, while Juventus are also said to be monitoring the situation.

However, the France international has revealed that he would be "happy" to extend his stay at Roazhon Park.

Speaking to reporters, Camavinga said: "It's not something that comes into my head, that I think about constantly. I see and I hear. These are things that give me pleasure. I'm at Rennes and other clubs, that's not for now. We'll see.

"I have two years left on my contract and we'll have time to talk. There will be talks. To prolong my stay at the club that formed me would make me happy. Obviously, the big clubs are a dream. After that I could not name one in particular."

Rennes will expect to receive in excess of £50m if they opt to part ways with the player in 2021.
