Real Madrid are eyeing Everton centre-back John Stones as a potential replacement for Raphael Varane should the Frenchman make a move to Manchester United.
Real president Florentino Perez recently revealed that the Manchester outfit made enquiries about Varane in the summer transfer window, per Spanish radio station Cadena Ser (via Hamish Mackay in the Mirror).
With United's central defence far from settled they will likely return for Varane next summer, and should they be able to prise him away from the Bernabeu, Madrid will reportedly look to Stones as a replacement, per Spanish outlet AS (h/t Adam Skinner in the Express).
