Raphaël Varane’s contract situation at Real Madrid has seen him being linked with other clubs, especially Chelsea, in the past week or so.
The centre-back’s contract expires in 2022 and he’s decided not to sign an extension with the La Liga side because they want the France international to take a pay cut.
On April 20th, we carried a report from AS, who explained Thomas Tuchel has identified the 28-year-old as a priority target for the Blues.
It’s claimed Chelsea ‘love’ the former Lens man and for them to complete the deal, they will have to meet the €70m asking price set by Zinedine Zidane’s side.
Real Madrid host Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final clash on Tuesday.
Tuchel and the English club will be able to take a closer look at Varane during the midweek European clash.
