If Paul Pogba leaves Manchester United for a second time this summer, the club have identified Eduardo Camavinga as his replacement.
According to AS, Real Madrid and Chelsea are also planning moves for Camavinga, who has become one of the hottest properties in world football since breaking into Rennes’ first team at 16.
Pogba rejoined Man United for a then world-record fee of £90million in August 2016, but he has struggled to perform at a consistently high level during an uncertain period for the club.
In planning for Pogba’s potential departure, Man United have set their sights on his fellow French international Camavinga.
The 18-year-old was called into Didier Deschamps’ squad for the first time in August, after Pogba was forced to withdraw because of a positive coronavirus test.
With a year remaining on his contract at Rennes, who currently sit eighth in Ligue Un, Camavinga is destined to leave for bigger things and will have no shortage of offers from Europe’s most powerful clubs.
