Manchester United wants to get one of their Stars out of Real Madrid in a surprising way

The season in Europe is still far from over. However, Manchester United is already working on the incorporations of the next campaign. Along these lines, the local team at Old Trafford is chasing one of the best players in the recent history of Real Madrid: Raphael Varane. The English team have set their sights on the French defender and even set aside several million euros to buy his pass, in the summer transfer market in the middle of the year.

According to the aforementioned source, there are 85 million euros that Manchester United has reserved for Varane. Despite the economic crisis that hits European football, the Reds team would invest all this money to strengthen the defense area and aim for all the titles next year.

Varane ends his contract with Real Madrid in mid-2022 and has not given clear signs that he is interested in renewing. Such a situation does not seem to scare Florentino and his associates. In fact, they would be willing to listen to offers before seeing you go for free. According to the portal ‘Transfermarkt’, the world champion in Russia 2018 is valued at 70 million euros, a figure that Real Madrid welcomes to let him go after almost a decade wearing the merengue shirt. And if they are 85, much better.

Thus, in the event that Varane left and Sergio Ramos did not continue, Madrid would have to make a double effort in this next transfer market to reinforce the rear, apart from David Alaba, a player who will leave Bayern to end of season. Varane was one of the first to be a youth club bet, when he was a total stranger. The Frenchman arrived from Lens, recommended by Zinedine Zidane, and the end of the story is already well known.

A team used to investing in its defenses

Manchester United made headlines last year for landing the most expensive transfer in history for a defender. It was Harry Maguaire, current Reds player, who at the age of 26 left Leicester in exchange for 87 million euros. In this way, Maguire became the most expensive defender in history, surpassing the 84.6 million that Liverpool paid Southampton for Virgil van Dijk in 2018.
