Just recently turned 17, he’s been starting regularly for Rennes in Ligue 1, and despite his tender years looks like a seasoned pro already.
Predictably he’s been linked with all of Europe’s top clubs, and in Spain it’s Real Madrid who are being connected with him most closely; mainly thanks to Zinedine Zidane’s French connections, and his reported admiration of the young prodigy.
Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo have picked up on the story, and today add a new detail – the reported asking price of historic Rennes. They’re apparently holding out for €60m, a sum that would have seemed utterly insane for a 17 year old with about 9 months of play under his belt not long ago.
Nowadays however, considering he’s one of the most highly rated talents in football, it seems a pretty reasonable request after the global financial collapse being cause by the coronavirus.
