JUVENTUS have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race to sign £62million Rennes teen prospect Eduardo Camavinga.
The Serie A champions are the latest Euro giants to be linked with the 18-year-old star.

They join the Red Devils, along with Real Madrid and PSG in the hunt to sign the French international.
According to Italian outfit Tuttosport, Juventus sporting directors Pavel Nedved and Fabio Paratici reckon a bid to resign Paul Pogba would cost them too much.
And that means they’ll instead focus their attentions on the Rennes midfield prospect.
Camavinga has already been capped three times by France and scored his first international goal against Ukraine in a 7-1 win last month.
The Angola-born star has been part of the Rennes set up since he was 11 years old and risen through the ranks.

He became the youngest player in Rennes history last April at 16 years and four months, and helped the team win the French League Cup.
This season he has scored one goal in eight appearances across all competitions for Julien Stephan’s side.
The in-demand 18-year-old said: “I see, I hear things. It is nice to hear everything that is said.
“The great clubs make me dream, but I cannot name one in particular for my future.
“We’ll see (about a new deal at Rennes). We haven’t set a date to discuss my future, I’m in no rush about it.
“I know how to differentiate different things. I’m at Rennes and the other clubs is not a topic for now. We will see later.
“Now I go out a lot less, I hide a little more.
“Life outside of sports has changed and the rivals in the field they also see me differently than a year and half ago.
“You don’t have to look so much at what is around you and you have to concentrate on what is essential.
“I have two years left on my contract and there is time to talk about it.
“There will be negotiations to renew, this is my training club and I would like to stay here.”
