Rennes will demand €40m (£34m) for midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, according to L’Equipe (via Get French Football News).
The Ligue One side are reportedly hoping for a bidding war between the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in order to get the figure they want:
L’Équipe on Eduardo Camavinga’s price add that Rennes will not achieve their dream €100m sale of the midfielder, but it is more likely to be around €40m, but it depends on how much of a bidding war between interested clubs occurs.

The new asking price is slightly above the one quoted by Fabrizio Romano a few days ago. The Italian journalist claimed United were hoping to do a deal for around €30m (£26m).
It is unlikely that the €10m increase will make much of a term difference in terms of their interest in Camavinga but, at this stage, no official bids have been made for the 18-year-old.
PSG are said to be the teenager’s preferred destination, as the player wants to stay in France but there has been no suggestion that the Ligue One side will follow up their interest with a formal offer.
For that reason, United are said to be still favourites for Camavinga’s signature but they know it won’t be an easy deal to complete.
