Manchester United target Raphael Varane 'seriously considering Real Madrid exit in the summer as he continues to stall on signing a new deal... and club are eyeing Pau Torres, David Alaba and Jules Kounde as potential centre back replacements'

Real Madrid are preparing for life without star centre back Raphael Varane, with the Frenchman said to be 'seriously considering' leaving the club in the summer.

Varane has been a mainstay in the Los Blancos defence for the last decade, but he is yet to sign a new deal with his current contract set to expire in the summer of 2022.

AS report that Real Madrid are not going to let him leave for free, meaning this summer is decisive - he either signs a new contract or is sold.
