An agreement over the future Raphael Varane transfer to Man Utd is reportedly ‘hours away’ with the Red Devils seemingly on the verge of vanquishing their strained relations with Real Madrid.
After wrapping up the transfer of Jadon Sancho, the club’s focus shifted towards signing a world class defender to partner Harry Maguire.
Raphael Varane has been widely reported to be the main man in their crosshairs despite pundits believing he will struggle in the Premier League.
Nevertheless, speculation has ramped up a £43.1.million (€50m) deal is close to completion. The 28-year-old is in the final year of his contract and Real boss Carlo Ancelotti was previously stated to be resigned to losing his star centre half.
Now, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Varane’s desire to make the move.
He tweeted that Varane is ‘ready to accept their contract bid’. Furthermore, he insisted the defender wishes to experience the Premier League.
Real Madrid magazine, MadridistaReal, took it a step further, stating an agreement over a Varane transfer is just ‘hours away.’
All signs point towards a second blockbuster recruit for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this summer. Man Utd have recently been slandered for failing to land their top targets, making their progress over a deal with Real Madrid all the more outstanding.
