Man Utd and Arsenal suffer Eduardo Camavinga transfer blow as Bayern offer midfielder regular game time if he joins
BAYERN MUNICH are reportedly stealing a march on Manchester United in the race to sign Edouardo Camavinga.
The France international, 18, has shot to fame with his performances for Rennes and could be set for a move this summer.

The Ligue 1 club may want to cash in on the talent if they cannot convince him to extend his contract past its current 2022 expiration.
And, according to France Football, Bayern are preparing to swoop for Camavinga.
Having sold Thiago Alcantara to Liverpool last summer, there is a sense that the Bundesliga giants never replaced the midfielder.
Therefore Munich will be able to offer the youngster regular game time and an excellent shot at winning trophies.
The Allianz Arena dressing room is also well-stocked with Frenchmen and Camavinga would join the likes of Benjamin Pavard, Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernandez if he signs.
Bayern boss Hansi Flick has confirmed his intention to leave the club at the end of the season, but this is not said to impact the deal too much.
Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic fell out with the coach over the club’s transfer dealings and the Bosnian is described as behind this interest.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid have all been linked with Camavinga.

While the Gunners would be able to offer a regular starting berth to the player, a potential lack of European football would knock their hopes back.
Likewise, United are unable to compete for honours in the same vein as Munich and Madrid.
And Los Blancos already boast a hugely talented midfield consisting of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Fede Valverde, and more, which may impact Camavinga’s playing opportunities.
