Arsenal transfer blow as Eduardo Camavinga ‘tells Rennes he wants PSG move but £100m asking price putting off clubs’

ARSENAL target Eduardo Camavinga has handed in a transfer request but the teenage sensation has his heart set on Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

The Rennes midfielder, 18, is one of Europe's hottest properties following yet another brilliant season.

WIN £50,000!   

PSG are one of the clubs monitoring his situation closely and believe he is the future in their midfield.

And it appears his head has been turned after telling Rennes he won't be signing a new contract.

Camavinga has just a year left on his current deal meaning the club will be forced to flog him this summer or lose him for nothing.

According to RMC Sport, Rennes are prepared to play hardball having slapped a £100million price-tag on their star man.

With the current financial crisis in football due to the coronavirus pandemic, Rennes risk pricing out Europe's biggest clubs for his signature.

The report adds how club owner Francois Pinault is hoping to spark a bidding war with Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid also all interested.

Camavinga's agent, Jonathan Barnett, recently revealed how Camavinga has received 'plenty of good offers.'

He told : "Believe me we have a lot of offers for this year, a lot of offers, and good ones.

"I mean top, top clubs. We don't want to rush. There is the right time to move on and playing games is the most important thing at his age. 

"Playing in a good club is nice for him. It might be this year, or he wants to have another year.

"He has got to talk to his family, his father. We will all sit down and decide. We will talk to Rennes as well and decide. There is no rush for him.

"He's probably the best young player in the world. He has just turned 18. He has already been a French international.

"He's an unbelievable talent. He could play in any team in the world. He is still going to be a great talent at 19. It's not that old you know, 19."
