Eduardo Camavinga

Eduardo Celmi Camavinga (born 10 November 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays for La Liga club Real Madrid and the France national team.

[7] Camavinga began his career in Ligue 1 with Rennes, making his senior debut at the age of 16, and quickly established himself as a regular first-team player.

In 2021, he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of €31 million, and over the following seasons, he helped the club win two La Liga–Champions League doubles in 2022 and 2024.

Born in Angola, to Congolese refugees, Camavinga moved to France at a young age, eventually representing the country at under-21 level.

[27] Three days later, he made his Champions League debut for Real Madrid, coming on as a substitute for Luka Modrić in the 80th minute and assisting Rodrygo for the winner against Inter Milan.

[citation needed] On 31 October 2019, Camavinga obtained French nationality, benefiting from the collective effect connected to the naturalization of his father.

[37] On 27 August 2020, Camavinga was called up to play on France's senior team after Paul Pogba was sidelined by a positive COVID-19 test.

He became, in the process, the youngest player to be called up to the French senior team since René Gérard in 1932, who was only 17 years, nine months and 17 days old.

He played as a left-back in the final group game, a 1–0 loss to Tunisia in which manager Didier Deschamps rested his regular players ahead of the knockout stage.
