Manchester United are lining up a big money summer swoop for Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane, with Los Blancos president Florentino Perez willing to listen to offers, according to reports.
The France international has forged a reputation as one of the hottest defensive prospects in Europe during his stint at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, and Jose Mourinho is said to be keen to rekindle his relationship with the 24-year-old from his time in Spain.
According to Spanish rumour merchant Diario Gol, the current La Liga and Champions League holders' hierarchy are willing to offload the former Lens youth product to the Red Devils for around €60m (£54m), but also see him as a bargaining chip to get hold of their most desired target.
