The situation
Pedri’s throne – Golden Boy 2021 – awaits a new owner. And Camavinga is the great favorite to succeed him; The bookmakers say it, the data reinforces it and the votes endorse it. Tuttosport , like every year, is in charge of delivering the award that crowns the best European footballer under 21 years of age. The sports medium recently presented the list of the 100 candidates after this season and there is only one Real Madrid player on it: Camavinga . The paradox, capitalized, is that this case exemplifies that quality can be worth more than quantity. Well, Madrid, with one, is enough to have the highest applicant.Not unique, because among the hundred pearls there are some truly brilliant; and abundance of midfielders.
road to gold
The pulse is very tight. Nobody in any medium puts their hand in the fire because Camavinga is going to be the winner, but it is in the vox populi that the pole bears his name. We remember how this award works: right now there are 100 names and each month 20 will be reduced, in this way we will reach October 15 with 20 finalists, from which the final winner will emerge, announced at a gala in Turin . It is a kind of ‘screen’, month by month, to give it emotion. This pre-selection is public and is done online , but the election of the final winner will correspond exclusively to the votes of 40 international sports media . It is in these newsrooms that Camavinga’s name resonates strongly. Never in history has a Madrid player won this award; in fact, he has never even managed to get on the podium (in 2012 Isco won it, but still being from Malaga). The left-hander from Cabinda would be a pioneer. He ended up in Chamartín this past summer in exchange for 30 million. His adaptation was slow, being a starter in only four of the first 16 days ( although his first goal was fleeting: 6 minutes into his debut against Celta ), but little by little he managed to settle down, gain confidence and let go. When he did it, he shone the talent that has elevated him to the point of being worth, for Transfermarkt , 55 million.
