According to transfer news from Mirror, Raphael Varane still remains the primary defensive target for Manchester United. Reputed football journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the same. He said that Varane’s departure will be dependent on Zinedine Zidane’s future.
The Red Devils are in need of a new defender and have identified the French international as a priority signing. With his contract set to expire season year, Real too have a decision to make this summer.
Manchester United are keen on signing Raphael Varane.
Varane was a subject of interest from Sir Alex Ferguson around 10 years ago. But he has now become a world-class star at Real Madrid. He is arguably at his peak right now. Signing Varane would be a massive statement by Manchester United indeed.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Varane is still United’s top defensive target in the summer. United have also kept the likes of Sergio Ramos and Jules Kounde as other options.
Harry Maguire has lacked a dependable partner and Varane would be a huge signing. He would absolutely solidify our centre-back department. If anything, Varane has shown over the years that he is a world-class defender.
He has won multiple titles at Real Madrid and is a World Cup winner with France. If the opportunity is there to sign a top player like Raphael Varane, Manchester United would be wise to take it.
