17-year-old Eduardo Camaviga has been one of the breakthrough stars of the current season, as he's burst onto the scene with a series of eye-catching performances for Stade Rennes in Ligue 1. Technically gifted and composed well beyond his years, the Angola born midfielder made history by becoming the youngest player in the history of the club, as debuted against Angers at the age of 16 years, 4 months and 27 days earlier this season.

French outlet L'Equipe reported in December that Real Madrid are keeping tabs on the midfield sensation, as they look up their personnel in the centre of the park. With Luka Modric in the twilight years of his career, Camaviga has been earmarked as a potential replacement for the Croatian.

Although Los Blancos are chasing his signature, Rennes are believed to be courting a nine-figure proposal that would seemingly make it impossible for them to cash in on their prized asset.

Likelihood of Eduardo Camaviga to Real Madrid - 3/10, Los Blancos are seemingly priced out of a move for him


3. Fabian Ruiz - SSC Napoli

Fabian Ruiz, since making a move to Napoli from Real Betis, has made a name for himself as one of the finest players in his position and the Spaniard is reportedly being courted by Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City, amongst others. Los Blancos have been keeping tabs on the skilful midfielder for well over a year now and made an unsuccessful move to acquire his services last summer, as the 23-year-old opted to stay in Italy to further his development.

While the Cityzens could be frontrunners for his signature to replace the outgoing David Silva this summer, the lure of the 13-time Champions League winners could be too much to turn down for the Spaniard.

Spanish publication AS confirmed in December that the record LaLiga champions held initial talks with Ruiz's representatives earlier in the season, adding that Napoli would be willing to part their midfielder for a fee in the excess of €100 million. While Manchester City are also in the running, it remains possible that he lands up at Real, either in January or the summer.

Likelihood of Fabian Ruiz to Real Madrid - 4/10, a January switch seems unlikely at this stage of the transfer window
