Another day, another report heavily linking Varane with a move to Manchester United. Will the Frenchman finally end up moving to Old Trafford? We shall see.
The Red Devils have been after the French international for a very long time and as per today’s version of AS, Man Utd are in negotiations with Real Madrid and will make a final attack to sign the central defender.
Transfer: Man Utd prepared offer to sign £198,000-a-week playmaker – Report
The famous Spanish media outlet have mentioned that the 20-time English champions are ready to pay 45 million euros for the Les Bleus defender but the Los Blancos, who are willing to sell Varane if the price is right, want a fee of 70 million euros.
On the other hand, as per an exclusive story covered by Defensa Central, Man Utd have already moved in with an offer of 50 million euros to capture the 28-year-old star, who has won four Champions League titles with the La Liga giants.
It is stated that Real Madrid like the offer made by the Premier League side but they want as much as money as possible and will push to get a fee of at least 65 million euros i.e. £56million for their prized asset.
The former Ligue 1 defender will be out of contract in less than 12 months and if he does not sign a new contract with the Spanish side then in January 2022, clubs would be able to agree a pre-contract with him. Florentino Perez would surely want to avoid such a situation.
Man Utd have already agreed a deal for Sancho but without a consistency in defense, winning the title will be extremely hard. Therefore, Ole should not waste time and must move in to finally secure the signing of Raphael Varane.
In your view, how much should the Red Devils pay to get his signing done?
I’d suggest they pay up, he’s worth it after all.
