It is absolutely known and discussed that Sergio Ramos is Real Madrid’s biggest problem in 2020-2021 season. The legendary center back is finishing his contract, and the negotiations to renew seem to be over. No, not a peaceful ending between both pats. But this be just one of the many losses the club could see in defense.

Chelsea is also on the hunt for another defender. After releasing Fikayo Tomori on loan to AC Milan, they would be keen to bring another center back in. And it could come from Real Madrid. We are already talking about a very big name. He knows what it is like to lift the World Cup, fox example. He has been playing in Real Madrid for a long time and could move now.

Yes, not only Sergio Ramos is planning to leave, possibly to PSG or Manchester United. The London side could be seriously looking into the chance of placing a bid for no other than French national team defender Raphael Varane, as reported by Spanish newspaper Marca. He is just 27 years old and has been playing for the White House since the club bought him from RC Lens for $12 million ahead of 2011-2012 season.

Of course, playing for almost a decade in Real Madrid and winning the World Cup in 2018 will seriously increase the market price. Should Chelsea look into the chance of buying him, the investment would be of almost $85 million, as per his reported market value of €70 million according to Transfermarkt.
