Manchester –
Manchester United keep hunting Raphael Varane. If that fails too, then the Red Devils already have a backup plan and are eyeing another defender.
Manchester United moving fast in the transfer market this summer ahead of Premier League 2021/2022 season which is planned to be held in August. Manchester United have signed Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.
Not finished there, MU wants to fix the back line. The center back post line is a problem and Raphael Varane considered to be a solution.
Reported from AS, Manchester United have been eyeing for the last two seasons Raphael Varane from Real Madrid. Now, Los Blancos can give the green light.
The 28-year-old’s contract will expire in June 2022 and is reluctant to extend the contract. So, Madrid have to let him go now so that they can earn income than later Varane leaves on a free transfer and Madrid can’t do anything.
Even so, Real Madrid willing to release Raphael Varane at a high price. Manchester United’s proposal containing an offer of 50 million Pounds or equivalent to Rp. 1 trillion was rejected. Madrid want 80 million Pounds or equivalent to Rp. 1.6 trillion.
No doubt, Madrid feels that Raphael Varane is a mature defender. Moreover, it has been 11 years in the white and white uniform and won many titles. Plus, Varane has won the World Cup with the French national team in 2018.
Reportedly, Manchester United reluctant to raise prices. In fact, the Red Devils have a backup plan if they fail to bring in Raphael Varane.
Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a young Sevilla defender Jules Kounde. The 22-year-old has been touted as a potential centre-back.
In addition, rumors surfaced again that Manchester United wanted to bring in Aston Villa centre-back, Tyrone Mings. It is believed that money as big as the offer to Varane, could at least bring in one of the two players included in United’s reserve plan.
