While his future appears more than uncertain, Raphaël Varane could be tempted by a thunderous return…
Raphaël Varane should be one of the main players in the next summer transfer window. Consequence in particular of its contractual situation. While at the time of his arrival at the Red Devils, he seemed to have signed until 2025, his contract ultimately only extends until June 2024 and six months before the end of his lease in Manchester, his future appears very uncertain.
To his advantage last season, the former Lens player has most often had to settle for a substitute role since this summer, now seeming to fall behind Harry Maguire or the returning Jonny Evans in the eyes of Erik ten Hag. The French world champion nevertheless returned to the starting eleven during the last two shocks, against Bayern Munich and against Liverpool. Two meetings during which the native of Lille was seen to his advantage.
Real has checked its name…
The English press did not fail to praise the Frenchman’s performance on Sunday. However, according to the Daily Mail, John Murtough, Manchester United’s football director, went to Saudi Arabia to discuss his possible signing, along with those of Jadon Sancho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial, others players in the hot seat.
But according to Cadena Cope, another club is interested in Raphaël Varane and not the least. According to Madrid radio, Real Madrid have checked his name when they could be looking for a central defender to compensate for the long absence of David Alaba, on the flank until next season. The Frenchman has the immense advantage of knowing the Madrid house well and not costing much.
