Real Madrid are leading Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham in the race to sign Rennes’ teenage sensation Eduardo Camavinga.
That’s according to French outlet L’Equipe, cited by the Mirror, who claim that the La Liga heavyweights have now jumped to the front of the queue in the race for the youngster’s services.
The holding midfielder has turned out 20 times in all competitions this season, which has resulted in the Ligue 1 side placing an £85m price tag on his shoulders.
Both the Gunners and Spurs had summer offers turned down for the 17-year-old, while United have joined the race for the Frenchman in recent months.

It looks as if Arsenal have missed their best opportunity to sign Camavinga, who now looks likely to complete a big-money move away from Rennes over the next six months.
The Gunners may still fight for the teenager’s signature, but with several other European giants now aware of his ability, it could end in disappointment.
