Real Madrid paid $40 million for him two years ago, now he sells clothes

Almost every year Real Madrid agree to sign young players who have proven to be very talented, with the hope that in a few years they will become top stars and help the team win titles in Spain and Europe. It's a method that has paid off for them lately, as Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior have all arrived.

But it is also a risk. In soccer there have been countless cases of players who in their early days seemed destined to be stars and were never able to live up to those expectations. When this happens, the club that invested money in him can lose a fortune.

Real Madrid trusted on Eduardo Camavinga in 2021, when they paid almost $40 million for him to Stade Rennais. In his first season he did not have satisfactory performances, but gradually he started to improve last year and now he is a key piece of the team. In fact, in the 2023/24 season he has played every game in La Liga and Champions League, sometimes as a midfielder and sometimes as a left-back.

However, the French player has B side. He is investing a lot of money to open a store in Madrid. There he will work alongside his brother Sebastiao, who is a hairdresser. The store will be called 'Camavina House' and it will not be a barbershop or a beauty salon, but it will be related to fashion. The news was communicated by the player, through a post on social media.

The most important thing is soccer

While taking care of his new business with his brother, Eduardo Camavinga continues to focus on his professional career. This week he returned to Spain after the international break and is already training alongside his teammates thinking about next Saturday's match against Sevilla at the Sánchez-Pizjuan stadium. In addition, next week they will face Sporting Braga in Champions League and then Barcelona.
