Posted on December 18, 2021 at 9:00 am by HG While Real Madrid recruited Eduardo Camavinga this summer, the story of the player who was playing at Stade Rennais at the time could have been very different. In the last days of the last summer transfer window, Real Madrid decided to step up on the Eduardo Camavinga file, he who was only one year from the end of his contract at Stade Rennais . And quite quickly, an agreement was reached between the various parties, allowing the France international to join the ranks of the Merengue. Only here, this file could have known a completely different fate if Real Madrid had stuck to its initial plans. Real Madrid were discussing to recruit Aouar to the origin! Indeed, AS reveals that Real Madrid initially discussed with Olympique Lyonnais in order to recruit Houssem Aouar last summer in order to strengthen his midfield. But ultimately, after these exchanges, the Spanish club therefore chose to set their sights on Eduardo Camavinga , which therefore seems to have been a last minute target for Casa Blanca even if it was announced in its viewfinder for years now. It remains to be seen whether Houssem Aouar will see a new opportunity with Real Madrid in the coming years. Skip back to main navigation
