Real Madrid are reportedly keen on signing the Manchester United defender Raphael Varane.
A report from Fichajes claims that Real Madrid are looking to sign the French international defender after the injury to David Alaba. Alaba has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with ligament damage and Real Madrid will have to replace him adequately.
The Austrian international defender has been a key player for Real Madrid and they cannot afford to go through the remainder of the season without replacing him.
Varane knows the club will having played for Real Madrid for a few years. He helped them win several major trophies during his time at the club and he should be able to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact.
He has been linked with a move away from Manchester United in recent weeks and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are prepared to cash in on him.
The French defender is valued at €35 million and Real Madrid certainly have the financial resources to sign the player. Manchester United are already lacking in depth when it comes to the defensive department and letting the experienced Frenchmen leave could be problematic unless they can bring in a quality replacement.
Harry Maguire has been linked with a move away from Manchester United as well.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will be hoping to win the league title this season and they will need to sign a quality defender who can help them tighten up defensively. The French international has not had ample game time at Manchester United this season and the opportunity to return to his former club will be an attractive proposition for him.
He has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia as well. It remains to be seen whether the French defender is keen on returning to the Spanish league once again.
His move to Manchester United has not really gone according to plan. He would have expected to compete for major trophies consistently. Instead, the Red Devils find themselves struggling to seal Champions League qualification.
