Manchester United have made a bright start to this year’s summer window having already finalized the signing of Jadon Sancho. In other developments, they are looking to stabilize their backline as they are looking at Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane as the new partner for Harry Maguire at the heart of the defence.
United’s leaky defence and a lack of a proper center-back apart from Maguire cost them their title challenge and the Europa League final.
Varane is one of the best defenders on the planet, with him having won everything possible at Real in his glorious 10-year trophy-laden career.
With only a year left in his contract, the Los Blancos understand that they would be forced to let the 28-year-old leave for free if they do not sell him this summer, with the Whites said to be eager to keep their man.
It is understood that the former La Liga champions are demanding a fee of around £40 million for the services of the Frenchman and the Red Devils are said to be preparing an official bid after having been in talks with Real Madrid for the last four days.
With the defender set to be valued at around £40-45 million, it is certainly going to be one of the bargain deals of the summer. Varane has been one of the long-term targets of Manchester United for a very long-time and the Red Devils could finally land their man this summer. For now, the former Premier League.
Manchester United are likely to hand themselves a very balanced and different-looking team for the next reason as the former Premier League champions are also said to be closing in on Rennes‘ talent, Eduardo Camavinga.
The French side are said to expect a fee in the range of £30-35 million which would be a bargain for any side that is looking to sign him as his release clause is set at £100 million.
The 18-year-old is one of the bright talents to emerge from France in the recent past, and he could well be the long-term replacement for Paul Pogba at the club.
