Chelsea would be gearing up to intensify their approach for long-term target Eduardo Camavinga as the young Frenchman seeks a move away from Rennes in the summer transfer window.
Reports from The Atheltic claim that the midfield prodigy has snubbed a new deal from the Ligue 1 outfit and is likely to take the exit door this summer with interest in his services rampant from across the continent.
Camavinga increasingly likely to seal Rennes exit
Rennes are keen to hand a new improved offer to their prized first-teamer but with a release clause intended in the said agreement which would make any future move away from the club quite difficult for Camavinga, the Frenchman is set to snub any prospective offers coming his way.
Moreover, Rennes look clear to miss out on European football for the upcoming campaign further adding to fears of Camavinga staging an exit as top European clubs circle around to sign him.
Chelsea in the mix to sign the France international
The Blues had been reported previously to be involved in the widely-contested race to land the 18-year-old’s signature in the summer window as Thomas Tuchel seeks to add to his options in the centre of the park.
Jorginho’s future at Stamford Bridge looking far from resolved amid interest from Juventus is another factor behind Chelsea stepping up their approach for Camavinga should he decide to leave Rennes in the very near future.
