Today appears to be Raphaƫl Varane day, as everyone tries to get a piece of the action on Thursday.
The French defender only has one year left on his contract at Real Madrid, and with Manchester United lurking and no renewal in sight, the La Liga giants are starting to come to terms with the fact their player might leave this summer.
Most of the updates have been coming from Spain, but we now have something from France, with RMC Sport publishing an article with their own information.
They claim the defender has āgiven his approval to start talks with Manchester Unitedā, and while Real Madrid are āopen to an exitā, they are still waiting for a first offer.
Talks between the Premier League side and the player āhave entered a far more concrete stage over the past few daysā, but Varane has no intention of leaving a bad image of himself in Madrid.
He wants to make sure āeveryone finds themselvesā in his transfer, and while āthe first talksā between the clubs have ābeen deemed positiveā, Manchester United āmust officialise their desire to recruit Varane by sending their first written offerā
From the moment the two sides find an agreement, the whole transfer ācould be finalised quicklyā.
