Manchester United duo Casemiro and Raphael Varane are reportedly linked with a return to Real Madrid, although a move seems unlikely.
According to Fichajes, Casemiro and Raphael Varane are linked with a return to Real Madrid amid exit rumours from Manchester United. The duo may not have a future at Old Trafford, although a return to the Santiago Bernabeu may not materialise as the club is heading in another direction.
Casemiro, Varane back at Real Madrid?
Real Madrid chose to cash in on two important players over the last two summers, but they have just remembered the decision. Raphael Varane entered his final year at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2021, as the club decided to accept Manchester United’s offer.
He has barely uprooted any trees at Old Trafford, as he might depart at the end of the season. Manchester United have yet to trigger the option in the Frenchman’s dea, with dangers of rhe defender leaving on a free transfer rife.
Meanwhile, there are significant concerns over the long-term future of Casemiro despite a promising first season at Old Trafford. The midfielder remains linked with Al Nassr, although now he and his Manchester United colleague Varane are connected with a return to Real Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti values the duo’s experience and may feel that his current squad, which is increasingly heading towards a younger generation, needs it. With the chance of bringing their two former stars now open in the next window, could the experienced duo return to the Santiago Bernabeu?
Real Madrid is unlikely to sign the Manchester United experienced duo
Real Madrid have increasingly signed younger players in the last few windows, with the likes of Eduoardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni replacing the experience of Casemiro. In the defender’s position, they replaced Varane with the likes of David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger, who have excelled in that role.
Hence, while the chance to re-sign Varane and Casemiro might exist in the summer, Real Madrid is unlikely to move away from their current policy and sign the experienced duo. The Manchester United stars may move to Saudi, where they might get a big last pay day.
