Real Madrid target Camavinga admits 'it is nice' big clubs are interested in him

Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga has admitted 'it is nice' that big clubs are circling for his signature amid continued links with Real Madrid.

The 18-year-old midfielder, already capped three times for France's senior international team, has caught the eye of several European giants and is widely expected to move on next summer.

Camavinga has insisted he will keep 'a cool head', however, and plans to wait until the end of the season before making his next, potentially life-changing, decision.

Reports from Spain claimed last week that Madrid were keen to broker a £44million switch for the sensation - and view him as the future of their star-studded midfield.

The LaLiga giants have targeted Camavinga for some time and head up a queue of potential suitors which reportedly also includes Manchester United and Juventus.

The youngster told Canal: 'Of course it is nice when a big club is interested in you.

'I am at Stade Rennais. We will wait until the end of the season. We will meet around the table and we will weigh the pros and cons [then].'

Camavinga's agent, Jonathan Barnett - who also represents Gareth Bale, has refused to wave away speculation that a move to Madrid is likely in the very near future.

'We have a great relationship with Rennes and we're working closely with Eduardo Camavinga's father and family,' Barnett told L'Equipe.

'The most important thing is to do what's best for him.

'Real Madrid? We have a fantastic relationship with them. Ask them.'

The highly-coveted talent, who has played 54 times for Rennes and helped them reach the Champions League last term, joined forces with Barnett in an apparent attempt to push through a move to the Bernabeu.

Sportsmail understands super agents Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola missed out on the closely-fought race to snap up Camavinga's services.

It is also believed that Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also great admirers of the prodigy.
