We look at some of the latest Real Madrid transfer rumours.

Eduardo Camavinga has been one of the French league's best young players this season. Having made his debut for Rennes at the age of 16, Camavinga has established himself as a starter for the club.

Now 17, Camavinga is very much a player in demand. The France-U21 international, who operates as a midfielder, has now been linked with a move to Real Madrid for quite some time.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is said to be a huge fan of the midfielder. However, it now looks like they will have to compete with French giants Paris Saint Germain for his signature. A fee upwards of £50 million has been touted. There are also suggestions that Rennes might table a new, much-improved contract.

Camavinga has made 36 appearances for Rennes so far this season in all competitions.

Havertz prefers a move to Real Madrid?

Another young player who has been on fire this season. Kai Havertz is arguably Bundesliga's hottest property right now, with the 21-year old's performances for Bayer Leverkusen attracting top European clubs.

Chelsea and Real Madrid both have had bids rejected, reports suggest. And now, according to reports the German midfielder prefers a move to Los Blancos rather than the Premier League.

A move for Havertz will not come cheap, with Leverkusen wanting a fee upwards of £100 million to sign the player.

Havertz has been in phenomenal form this season. Playing as a forward as well as in midfield, the German has 15 goals and 8 assists in 39 appearances for his club in all competitions.

Manchester United are now leading the race to sign Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek after Real Madrid backtracked, as per reports.

van de Beek has been linked with a move to Los Blancos for a long time. However, it seems that despite agreeing on a fee of £45 million with Ajax, Real Madrid have now concluded their interest over the midfielder.

This clears the path for Manchester United to get their target. Van de Beek is an Ajax academy graduate and has made over 150 appearances for the club.

The 23-year old has been in good form this season. In 37 appearances, he has contributed to 10 goals and 11 assists in all competitions.

Hakimi on his way out?

Achraf Hakimi could leave Real Madrid once his Borussia Dortmund loan spell expires if rumours are to be believed.

Hakimi is seen by many as the successor to Dani Carvajal at right-back. His performances for Borussia Dortmund, however, could mean that Bayern Munich might shell out €60 million to get the Moroccan full-back. Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City have been linked as well.
