The race of Eduardo Camavinga has taken off in such a way that his 17 years leave behind the 17 years of the rest of the footballers before him. At least, in their market valuation. The one with the French pearl that Real Madrid has at the top of its list to find a Casemiro clone, is from 42 million euros, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt. A footballer has never been so valued at that age in his passport. Neither current precocious talents, like the azulgrana Ansu Fati, nor the troop of young Brazilians from Madrid (Vinicius, Reinier…) nor footballers already established as Donnarumma or Lukaku. Camavinga left them all behind.
A value, that of the trendy midfielder of Ligue1, which continues to rise and even falls short with what he hopes to get, at least, the Rennes for him. As AS reported, the Breton entity could speak from 50 million euros. And it won’t make it easy. It has been showing signs of it. Because he wants to establish himself thinking of the Champions League and because Camavinga is locked in a gold cage, that of the Pinault family. Even the entity’s coach rennais ensures that the boy’s desire is to stay there. But Madrid does not budge.
The historical assessment of footballers at 17, according to Transfermarkt.
Whatever happens to his immediate future, Camavinga is leaving behind all the child prodigies. He has been chosen in the ideal eleven of the French League for L’Equipe and his € 42M valuation is ahead of the € 40M at which Ansu Fati (Barcelona) is currently valued. Too improves the € 35M in which Vinicius was valued when, at 17 years old, he was still a member of Flamengo. Behind it comes Ryan Sessegnon who not even having gone from Fulham to Tottenham makes him more valued than Camavinga. The skilled Englishman was valued at € 25M at 17 years old and now, at 19, has risen to € 31.5M …
More than the precocious Alphonso Davies, Timo Werner …
There are more emerging names, like Alphonso Davies (Bayern), who two seasons ago when he was 17 was valued at € 10M when he was still playing in Vancouver and you can also find other well-known ones who, at 17, were not worth as much, in economic terms, as the now Madrid goal. In the top20 are Donnarumma (11º) that at that age had a price of € 20M and current stars such as Lukaku (14th) were at € 14M and Timo WernerEven less, the twentieth with € 12M in 2014 when it began to emerge at Stuttgart. Camavinga is making history ahead of all of them.
