Raphael Varane pushing for Manchester United switch?

03 March 2015 09:53

Reports suggest that Raphael Varane has grown impatient at the lack of football he gets these days at Real Madrid and is considering a move to the Premier League.

The 21-year-old French central defender is struggling to get ahead of either Pepe or Sergio Ramos in the Real back-line and with Real Madrid viewing the player as ‘one for the future’ the player is keen to do something in the now. Real Madrid are unwilling to talk of selling the player so everyone else is doing it for them in the gossip columns and that is about all you read about the player.

Reports suggest that Real are already lining up his replacement in Aymeric Laporte who also happens to be another Manchester United target presumably as a second choice should Varane prove too stubborn a player to prize away from Los Blancos.

The athletic young defender is also of interest to Chelsea and Arsenal according to the mill and it is thought that £30million would be the minimum to persuade Real Madrid to sell.
