He got tired of Manchester United, the fortune that Bayern Munich would pay for Varane

Raphael Varane was considered by many to be the best defender on the planet a short time ago. It was 2018, when France was crowned world champion and its Umtiti-Varane centre-back duo aroused the admiration of all the other teams. The one who then wore the Real Madrid shirt was an exceptional defender, with a combination of physical qualities, control of his area and unparalleled charisma.

In the summer of 2021, Raphael Varane left the Bernabéu to start a new adventure in the Premier with Manchester United, which seduced him with an offer. But the truth is that he has not managed to shine at Old Trafford. From Germany he receives temptations from Bayern Munich and even some rumors of a million-dollar offer from Saudi football. What is clear is that the 40 million that the English team paid have been unprofitable.

Varane arrived at Manchester United as a star signing, as the face of a new project full of hope. He was a galactico who came to reinforce the defense of the red side of Manchester. But like all those who have passed through Old Trafford since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, he has not been able to consolidate himself and has gradually faded away.

The previous season, he managed to make a good couple with Lisandro Martínez, with whom he got along very well. But he soon began to see how he lost ownership to defenders who in theory were of a lower level, such as Victor Lindelof or the always criticized Harry Maguire. And to make matters worse, he was seriously injured a few weeks before the World Cup and was unable to play in the tournament.

What the German club would pay for Varane

Although he has lost prominence, Varane continues to arouse the interest of other teams. This same week, 'Sky Sports Germany' reported that Bayern Munich has Varane, 30, on its list of possible signings for the next winter market. The German club would be willing to offer 35 million euros for the defender.
