After having completed the signing of English winger Jadon Sancho pending medicals, the Red Devils are now after French centre-back and Real Madrid’s wall Raphael Varane.
While Real Madrid have already lost one of their best players namely Sergio Ramos this summer and it is unlikely they will be willing to let go of their marquee defender. On the contrary, it is also Raphael Varane’s final year of the contract and with the French centre-back wanting out it is also very much unlikely to lose Raphael Varane on a free transfer next season given the club’s financial situation.
Raphael Varane is among the world’s defenders and has been a vital cog of Real Madrid’s defense for a considerable amount of time. If Varane leaves Madrid then Real will have only two options the first one being playing Eder Militao who still has a lot to work on to play in Varane’s position or the other option being signing another defender as technical as Varane.
Transfer Window Podcast host McGarry stated, “Manchester United have reignited their pursuit of Real Madrid and France centre-half Raphael Varane.” “He’s a player who has won literally everything. He is someone who is out of contract next year so therefore available at a very reasonable price when you consider what good defenders are going for in the current market.” “It’s our understanding that Manchester United are prepared to pay €50m for Varane.” “Real Madrid do not want to lose for free in a year’s time.”
However, nothing is decided yet and a decision will be made further on after the players return from their Euro 2021 campaign and sit down in discussion with the club’s management.
