Stade Rennais FC's Eduardo Camavinga is currently among the most in-demand midfielders in European football.
Camavinga joined Rennais' youth academy aged 11 in 2013 and worked through the club's youth ranks to make his senior debut for the club in 2018. He has played 70 games for the Red and Blacks thus far, scoring two goals.
The 18-year old was awarded the Ligue 1 Player of the Month accolade in August 2019 and was also nominated for the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Season last campaign.

However, the youngster has entered the final year of his current contract with the club and has reportedly declined to sign a new deal. Rennes are looking to sell him this transfer window as opposed to letting him leave for free next summer.
Eduardo Camavinga's potential destinations this summer
#3 Liverpool
Dutch midfielder Gini Wijnaldum left Liverpool to join Paris St. Germain on a free transfer earlier this transfer window.
His departure has left a huge void in the Reds' squad and they are currently in search of his replacement. Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly among the names the Merseysiders are keeping close tabs on to replace the Dutchman.
Like Wijnaldum, Camavinga is a workhorse and contributes significantly at both ends of the pitch. His key strengths are tacking and dribbling skills, averaging 2.8 tackles and 1.2 dribbles per game last season. He is also an accomplished passer, completing 1750 passes with an accuracy of 89 per cent last season.
However, there are a number of big clubs in the race to sign the talented Frenchman. It will take a lot of persuasion from Jurgen Klopp to convince him to join the Reds.
#2 Manchester United
Manchester United are another Premier League club to have been linked with Eduardo Camavinga in recent weeks. The 18-year old is viewed as a long-term replacement for Paul Pogba, who is in the final year of his contract with the club.
Camavinga is a great tackler and will add strength and defensive steel to the Red Devils' midfield. His presence will also allow Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes to play further up the pitch.
The Frenchman's passing ability will also compliment Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactical philosophy, who prefers his team to build from the back.
Nevertheless, with the transfer deadline just one week away, the Manchester-based club need to act faster in order to sign the talented Frenchman.
#3 Paris St. Germain
Paris St. Germain have had a great transfer window, having added Lionel Messi, Sergi Ramos, Gini Wijnaldum, Ashraf Hakimi and Gianluigi Donnarumma to the squad.
Mauricio Pochettino is now looking to strengthen his defensive midfield options and has shown interest in signing Rennes FC's Eduardo Camavinga in recent weeks.
Known for his strength, passing and dribbling skills, Camavinga will fit in perfectly at PSG, with Pochettino liking his team to play possession-oriented football. The teenager has a good passing range to dictate a game. He has also shown his vision by chipping in with two assists for his teammates.
However, the Paris-based club have already spent heavily this transfer window. It would be interesting to see if they can still pursue a deal for Camavinga this summer.
