Local media reported that the fee for the 18-year-old France
international was about 30 million euros ($35.41 million).
"Real Madrid C. F. and Stade Rennais F. C. have reached an
agreement over the transfer of Eduardo Camavinga, who joins the
club on a six-year deal, until 30 June 2027," the LaLiga club
said in a statement
https://www.realmadrid.com/
en/news/2021/08/31/official-announcement-camavinga.
Born in a refugee camp in Angola to Congolese parents,
Camavinga's family emigrated to France. He came through the
ranks of local club Stade Rennes -- making his first team debut
in Ligue 1 aged 16 years, four months and 27 days.
In 2020 Camavinga became the youngest player to represent France
since 1917 at 17 years, nine months and 29 days old.
He has been registered by Real as a member of their B-team,
Castilla, as LaLiga rules allow given his age - a move they
previously made with Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Reinier.
This has allowed the club to register fellow midfielder Dani
Ceballos - who was not involved in their opening three fixtures
and had no squad number - as part of the first team roster.
