One of the most promising football players of today is Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. Despite being only 21, he has already become an essential part of Carlo Ancelotti’s team. The Dailysports team has prepared a profile on this young French football star.
Eduardo Camavinga background
Camavinga faced a difficult childhood. His parents fled the civil war in the Republic of the Congo, and Eduardo was born in a refugee camp in Cabinda, Angola. His birthplace is also the hometown of his father Celestino and mother Sofia. When Eduardo was two, the family moved to France, but in 2013, a fire destroyed their home and most of their belongings.
Eduardo Camavinga family
Camavinga comes from a large family with five siblings. One of them was seven years old as of May 2022, and when Eduardo appeared with him at the Champions League final against Inter, many mistook his brother for his son. As of his 21st birthday, Eduardo’s heart remains free.
Eduardo Camavinga nationality
Camavinga could hold citizenship in three countries. Currently, he holds French citizenship and plays for the French national team, while his Congolese roots mean he also has citizenship from the Republic of the Congo. Due to his place of birth, he is eligible to obtain Angolan citizenship, though he has not pursued it.
Eduardo Camavinga religion
Eduardo, like another prominent player with African roots, Victor Osimhen, is a devout man. But unlike the Nigerian, the Frenchman does not demonstrate this in his public life, and he himself refers more to Islam.
Eduardo Camavinga salary
Upon joining Real Madrid, Camavinga earned a salary of €8.3 million per year. A new contract with the club has increased his annual salary to €12.5 million. Over his time with Real Madrid, Camavinga will earn €75 million, plus an additional €2.45 million from his previous club, Rennes.
Eduardo Camavinga records
Despite his young age, Camavinga already holds records. He made his debut with Rennes at 16, becoming the club's youngest-ever debutant. He also received his first call-up to the French national team while at Rennes, debuting in September 2020 at age 17.
