Man Utd transfer target Eduardo Camavinga SACKS agent as Rennes star plots move to one of Europe’s giants
MANCHESTER UNITED and Real Madrid target Eduardo Camavinga has reportedly sacked his agent as speculation over a transfer grows.
The Rennes midfielder, 18, decided to part ways with his representative Moussa Sissoko.
And according to AS, that has opened up a scramble for his signature among some of the top football agents.
Jorge Mendes, whose Gestifute agency looks after Cristiano Ronaldo, and Gareth Bale’s man Jonathan Barnett are thought to be hoping to land Camavinga.
Pini Zahavi sorted Neymar’s world-record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain as well as managing Rio Ferdinand’s career and could also try and add the youngster to his client list.
And whichever agent wins the chase is set to be in store for a bumper pay day when Camavinga gets his move to one of the European giants.
United, Real Madrid and PSG are the three clubs closely linked with the Frenchman after missing out on him in the summer.
Real want to unite Camavinga, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe at the Bernabeu in a new Galactico era.
Juventus may also be considering a swoop – but Rennes are thought to want at least £62million for their academy graduate who joined the club aged 11 and made his debut a month after turning 16.
But it appears the player himself has not narrowed down his options as the Red Devils look to pounce.

Speaking in a press conference last week, Camavinga said: “The great clubs make me dream, but I cannot name one in particular for my future.
“Do I want to stay in Rennes? We’ll see. We haven’t set a date to discuss my future, I’m in no rush about it.”
In the meantime before a new agent is sorted, his dad Celestino will handle any dealings.
Camavinga is under contract until 2022 but his future beyond the end of next season remains unclear.
He has racked up 11 appearances this term – including against Chelsea on Tuesday – with a goal and an assist.
Camavinga also boasts three senior international caps for Les Bleus already and grabbed his first strike to open the scoring in the 7-1 thumping of Ukraine in October with a stunning overhead kick.
