Real Madrid ‘to press for £ 44m summer wake-up call for Eduardo Camavinga despite new contract for Luka Modric – as Spanish giants hope Rennes teenager can learn under former star ‘
Real Madrid are keen to sign Eduardo Camavinga despite Luka Modric signing a new contract at the Bernabeu.
The Spanish giants see the Rennes midfielder as the future of their midfield, with his physicality and positional flexibility being key features.
Last week, midfielder Modric, 35, extended his contract until June 2022.
Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has reportedly remained a £ 44million target for Real Madrid
But as reported by AS, the club sees Modric ‘s extended terms as a good opportunity for Camavinga to learn from Croatia.
The 18-year-old would join team-mates Federico Valverde and Martin Odegaard, both 22, as potential fans in the successful midfield pair of Modric and Toni Kroos, 30.
Brazilian defensive midfielder Casemiro, 28, has been identified as a link between the present and the future, while Isco is not part of the club’s long-term vision.
Veteran Luka Modric’s contract side has expanded but they believe Camavinga can learn from him
Real Madrid’s hopes were to bring French international Camavinga and PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe to the Spanish capital this summer.
The financial impact of the pandemic could thwart their plans, but LaLiga’s heroes see both players as good opportunities for the present and the future.
Camavinga, who has played 54 times for Rennes, was joined by Gareth Bale’s substitute Jonathan Barnett in an attempt to shorten the movement wheels to Zinedine Zidane ‘s side.
