Raphael Varane has been linked to Manchester United for so long, even before his transfer to Real Madrid, that rumours of a potential move to Old Trafford can result in indifference.
We’ve all heard much of it before, but perhaps this summer is different. The defender’s contract expires in less than a year, and there’s been repeat claims in the Spanish media that he’s considering a new adventure in his career.
Real Madrid have made repeat attempts to convince the Frenchman to sign a renewal, and there’s repeat warnings in the media close to Los Blancos that Varane will soon be put on the market.
Now comes a French slant, with Julien Maynard, a journalist for Telefoot, reporting the player is in discussions with Manchester United and he could move to England this summer.
It’s stated nothing has yet been signed, but ‘the positions of the two parties have moved closer in recent hours’.
