While he must now be content with a replacement role at Manchester United, Raphaël Varane could be offered a spectacular rebound.
Raphaël Varane has had a difficult time in recent weeks at Manchester United. The French defender has in fact been demoted in the hierarchy of Mancunian central defenders and must now be content with a replacement role. The fault is Victor Lindelof and especially Harry Maguire, much criticized at the start of the season but who passed him by in the eyes of Erik ten Hag.
For a month, the former Madrid player has had to be content with 18 minutes of play in the Premier League and he has not started a single league match since September 30 and a home loss against Crystal Palace. Obviously enough to frustrate the French world champion and arouse the interest of certain clubs. According to Sky Sport specialist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich would have checked his name for a transfer during the next winter transfer window.
If they have made the Frenchman one of their priorities to strengthen their defensive sector this winter, the German champions will not do anything crazy. In view of the market value of the person concerned, estimated between 20 and 30 million euros, the transfer compensation seems within the limits of the Bavarian club but it is quite different with his XXL salary, the native of Lille earning at some 20 million euros per year. Inconceivable salaries at the Record Master. And since Bayern favors a direct transfer over a loan, Raphaël Varane will have to make big sacrifices to join Bavaria.
