At 18, the young midfielder has already been capped by the senior French national team.
Eduardo Camavinga (Cabinda, Angola, 10/11/2002) is now a Real Madrid player after the French international joined our club from Stade Rennais. After taking his first steps in the game with AGL-Drapeau-Fougères, he checked in at the Stade Rennais academy in the summer of 2013 and went on to make his Ligue 1 debut for the club’s first team in the 2018/19 season when, at the age of 16, he became the first player born in 2002 to feature in one of Europe’s major leagues.
Camavinga is a midfielder with fine physical attributes who is capable of playing anywhere across the middle third. He excels at breaking through the lines thanks to his explosive bursts of pace. He is a versatile player who is capable of operating all over the pitch and boasts a fine turn of pace and an impressive engine. He is a left-footed player and is strong in the tackle, whilst his short- and long-range passing and his dribbling skills are strong elements of his game. He earned his first cap for the senior French national team in September 2020 in the Nations League meeting against Croatia to become the youngest player to feature for Les Bleus since 1914. In terms of his career honours, he lifted the French Cup in 2019.
