Because he has no desire to come to us?
How do you know that?

I’m pretty sure there are very few 18 year old’s in world football who’d have ‘no desire’ to play for a club like Manchester United.

:lol:

Edit:

When Varane joins United - its because of money/club and not the manager
When Messi joins PSG - its because of Pochettino
:lol:

I don't know why people still entertain that troll.

I am sure if Poch was at Spurs, Messi would have signed for them.

Am I doing this right?
No.

Back in 2011/12, there was rumours that Messi was flirting with the idea of moving to Barca's rivals Espanyol.

He only changed his mind at the last minute, due to the backlash he'd face from Barca fans for moving to their city rivals.

His reason for wanting to move? Their manager was a certain Mr Pochettino ;)

We haven't sold anybody for a "windfall" kind of money, let alone £100m+ ever since Fergi left, have we?
Yeah but equally we also haven't had the opportunity to sell those players either.

Camavinga would be someone who we can get at a good price and then feasibly sell on for a massive profit as it seems his long-term aim isn't to stay at Utd. While Bellingham, considering how long we've wanted him and the fact he's British makes it more likely that he sees us as his destination club.

If we can get Camavinga as an interim solution and then get Bellingham with those proceeds I think it's the transfer equivalent of turning £30m water into £100m+ wine.

This is the one signing after Sancho that I really want, whilst he‘s not the finished article and might not impact massively at first I think he’s one of the top midfield prospects in the world and will go on to be a world class player, I’d love to see him grow at United.

I didn't realise that Johnathan Barnett was Camavinga's agent, United are obviously in his good books after the way the Varane deal was negotiated..
i don't think Jonathan Barnett is Varane's agent, CAA Base are the ones representing Varane

I have previously picked up on how Romano has emphasized that United Love Camavinga, and now Bouhafsi is apparently giving some hope too...
Never know, this one might actually have some legs to it.
I just hope that we don't hear the same old nonsense about only getting a Midfielder if Pogba leaves, because the other side of that coin means that United are perfectly content with the quartet of Mata, Matic & McFred
Shaw, James, Henderson and quite a few other players are represented by Barnett. Don't think Varane is but I could be wrong.

What’s the minimum 2 players we could sell to afford Camavinga and Tripper (which would wrap up a great summer)

Would selling Dalot and Pereira be enough to afford them?

I think we’d need a minimum of 40m assuming Trippier pushes hard for a move - if we aren’t selling Axel then I can’t see us raising those funds without James or Lingard going.

He apparently was interested in joining Southampton as well - either to play with Ricky Lambert or to have Poch as manager :)

Not even close - I would say realistically we need about £60 million to sign those 2 players

The English journos are being briefed about him wanting to join one of the big Spanish clubs IMO.

RMC and their journo Bouhafsi have consistently said he prefers to stay in France and join PSG, which is understandable with the player being so young and being from France.

But I believe if we sign him, he'll end up staying at the club long-term, unless he fails to live upto his potential. It's also worth noting that RMC have not (from my recollection) reported about him preferring a move to Spain.

I think this deal is there to be done for United.

Maurice also alludes to Camavinga's future being linked to moves at other clubs.

My interpretation of the above is that a club or clubs will have to move players out, before attempting to sign Camavinga.

If he’s comfortable joining United, then I don’t see why this shouldn’t get done

Really?My interpretation is that they don't want him to run his contract down and go for nothing.

Sounds consistent with what we’ve heard so far:

1. Rennes won’t let him go on a free.

Which leads into the interesting part: that it sounds like Camavinga himself is at least partially motivated by how he doesn’t want Rennes to get nothing and is therefore mulling over what presumably is the only ‘realistic’ offer on his plate.

Ours.

My interpretation is that Camavinga would happily leave if PSG or Madrid come in for him but if not he has no issues sitting tight and leaving for free in a year something Rennes are telling everyone won't happen

That could be it, of course.

But if he’s the type of personality that would consider Rennes’ position and weigh that into his decision-making, then ours being the only offer that gets Rennes some money - with PSG and Madrid happy to give Rennes the shaft in contrast - will mean something.

United playing the waiting game here?
Unless we need to shift players out first before adding anymore in then I don’t understand why we would we be playing the waiting game with this one? Especially when Rennes seems desperate to sell him now so they dont lose him for nothing next year. 25M-30M seems to be the asking that’s been brandished and that’s literally a bargain for one of the best young midfielders in Europe.

Other than that, it seems like judging by what’s being said that Camavinga prefers PSG or Spain ahead of us. If that’s the truth then pointless pursuing a player that doesn’t seem keen to coming here. We don’t want another Di Maria situation on our hands.

This kid was 10 the last time we won the Premier League. This is the new generation coming up that probably has not really heard of United as a powerhouse. It's like slightly older players like Sancho not really seeing AC Milan as a 'big team' anymore despite the history

If that’s your argument then please when PSG was a powerhouse? They still haven’t won the UCL to be considered one and the Arabs took over a while ago.

Candidly, I think it's a pipe dream that we will make 70 mil on Camavinga. The reality is - we are United, not Dortmund or Ajax. I don't think we should ever buy a player who sees us as stepping stone. It's not ego, it's what kind of club you are or want to be.

If Ronaldo was always rumored to be a Madrid fan, would you not have taken him for those years he played for us?

They're winning their domestic trophy most years and easily making champions league
You can go to Austria and do the same thing. Win the league and qualify for the UCL. It’s the money that’s the deciding factor.

Ronaldo is top 3 best players OF ALL TIMES.

I need to understand why y'all think Camavinga will ever be anything close to that, or even sell for 100 mil. There's seriously no evidence of either of those. It's not even clear if he will be Bruno Fernandez good. Or even Paul Pogba good (who has been much less productive for us than Bruno), and we are unable to sell Pogba for half of 100 mil.

it's a bit patronising to imply a professional footballer isn't aware of the basic history of the game

everyone knows United is a massive club, and probably one of three biggest in world football

His younger brother was wearing a United shirt? We are still a powerhouse

Rennes have no say if he wants to wait a year. They can't accept a bid and then force him to sign.

I think it's clear we aren't first or even second choice, and he's fine just waiting until he can pick his club for the moment.
