Rennes coach Bruno Genesio says he's happy for Eduardo Camavinga over his move to Real Madrid.

The former Rennes midfielder was presented as a new Real Madrid player earlier this week.

Genesio told L'Equipe: "The best solution would have been to have another year left with him, to extend it.

"But looking back, I think it's a good thing for him that he's going abroad. Rather than at PSG? No, but sometimes, leaving your very close environment, your training club, your comfort zone, is good.

"And that brings back the qualities thanks to which he played so early and which he had lost a little bit lately."
