Liverpool are believed to have made their interest known in Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga this summer.
The 18-year-old midfield sensation is on the radar of a host of Europe’s top clubs after contract negotiations stalled in France.
According to a report from 90min, the Reds have shown interest along with Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Now in the final 12 months of a deal, Camavinga could be sold this summer in order to avoid the risk of losing their prize asset for nothing next year.
That’s according to reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter.

The initial report claims Liverpool and Manchester United are now ‘very much part’ of the conversation for the seven times capped French youth international.
Camavinga, previously described as a ‘little dancer’ by Paul Pogba, may have played one final time for Rennes on Saturday as the teenager spent time with the home fans after a 1-0 victory over FC Nantes.

Valued at an eye-watering £49.5million (Transfermarkt), signing the French starlet for the mooted £30million would be a bargain deal.
Last season the productive midfielder scored once and registered two assists in 35 Ligue 1 outings – proving to be ready for the first-team despite his tender years.
Credited with superb tackling and concentration, Camavinga could be Jurgen Klopp’s long-term Gini Wijnaldum replacement without the necessity to break the bank or be an immediate first-choice.
