According to the Mirror, Manchester United are interested in Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane and hope to land his signature this summer, with Los Blancos ‘willing’ to complete a deal for £50m.
The 24-year-old joined Real Madrid from RC Lens in 2011 and has gone on to make over 200 appearances in all competitions. Varane has made 40 caps for the France national team and is a regular in defence for club and country.
The Mirror says United tried to sign him in 2011 before he made the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu, while Jose Mourinho – who signed him at Real – wanted him at Chelsea in 2014.
