Manchester United & Raphael Varane: Deal ‘very advanced’ according to reporter

A deal that could see Raphael Varane leave Real Madrid for Manchester United is ‘very advanced’ according to El Chiringuito journalist Jose Alvarez.

Reports surrounding Varane move to Old Trafford have been rife in recent weeks, with the Frenchman yet to sign a new contract at the Bernabeu Stadium.

The defender’s current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2022, with the upcoming transfer window the best chance for Real Madrid to get a decent fee for him.

United are in the market for a central defender, with Villarreal’s Pau Torres and Sevilla’s Jules Kounde linked with a move to Old Trafford.
