With UEFA reportedly planning changes to next season's Champions League qualifiers, Eduardo Camavinga's Rennes could miss out on their play-off place.
Rennes are reportedly in danger of missing out on next season’s Champions League, in a blow to the French outfit that could nudge Real Madrid target Eduardo Camavinga closer to the Santiago Bernabéu.
Rennes affacted as UEFA reportedly plan Champions League format change
According to the UK newspaper The Times, UEFA is planning on making changes to Champions League qualifying because of calendar congestion caused by the coronavirus, and may opt to shorten the preliminary rounds to a single play-off stage featuring only the clubs who go into the ‘Champions Path’ of the draw as winners of their league.
Having reached the Champions League's final play-off round after finishing third in the curtailed 2019/20 Ligue 1 campaign, which was cancelled in April, Rennes would therefore be among the clubs that would no longer be involved.
The Times adds that, as an alternative to cutting down qualifying, UEFA could even do away with the preliminary phase altogether. European football’s governing body would offer financial compensation to the teams affected by changes to qualifying, the newspaper explains.
These developments could have a major impact on the future of Camavinga at Rennes, with a lack of Champions League football at Rennes next season potentially increasing the likelihood of a transfer to Madrid, who remain keen to sign the 17-year-old midfielder.
Rennes could replace Marseille in Champions League
Even if UEFA’s reported plans are confirmed, however, Rennes could yet make it into next season’s Champions League group stage in place of Marseille. L’OM, who finished second in Ligue 1, are under threat of exclusion from the competition due to financial-fair-play breaches, with a ruling on the issue expected in June.

Infact any rumour about Real Madrid sign players is just False. Do you know how many players we have on loan and in the squad right now?! It's so much that if UEFA gives us a ban right now we won't ever feel it and we will still change the squad with new arrivals.

We don't need Coman. we are already over stocked in the department. Remember Mbappe might come too. Jovic, Mariano, Benz and Rodrygo

coman? are you serious... we don't need him actually... sign Camavinga,Haaland and upamecano. that's the only need for next season. also ryan cherki if possible and loan him back for 2 more seasons.In 2021/22 bring in Mbappe. that's the only thing need to solve puzzle. that team will be unstoppable.

i would love madrid to sign camavinga but from the players point of view it will be better to play one more season as a starter in French first division before moving to real Madrid , playing for castilla and warming the bench will slow down his progress
