Real Madrid yet to receive offers for Man Utd-linked Varane as Perez steers around Mbappe talk

The Blancos president believes a World Cup-winning defender could stay put, but is reluctant to be drawn on supposed striker targets

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez claims he is yet to receive a single offer for Raphael Varane despite intense speculation suggesting that the World Cup winner is a target for Manchester United.

The France international centre-half is yet to commit to a new contract at Santiago Bernabeu and is approaching the final 12 months of his current deal.

That situation has helped to keep the rumour mill ticking over, with Premier League heavyweights at Old Trafford in the market for defensive reinforcements, but no official bids have been sent to the Spanish capital.
