Manchester United decided not to activate the option to extend the contract of its French defender Raphael Varane for an additional year, so that the player would be free to negotiate with clubs outside England for a free transfer during next summer, starting Monday, January 1, 2024.
The Manchester United management took the decision not to activate the clause to extend Varane’s contract, who receives a weekly salary of 340,000 pounds sterling, so that his current contract will be valid until the end of June 2024, according to the Daily Mail.
Sources within Manchester United indicated that there is a desire for Varane, 30, to remain with the team on the condition that he agrees to sign a new contract with a lower salary, due to his ongoing problems with injuries that have caused his repeated absence from matches.
This step came as part of Manchester United’s management plan to reduce the players’ wage budget to provide the necessary resources to make new deals next summer.
It is noteworthy that Spanish reports linked Raphael Varane to returning to Real Madrid in light of the injury crisis that struck the team, in addition to his departure from the accounts of Manchester United coach Eric Ten Hag, who now prefers to rely mainly on Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw.
