The clubs remain in discussions over a transfer involving the France centre-back, although he will not request a move to quicken up the process
Raphael Varane has an agreement in principle with Manchester United over a contract until 2026, but there remains no deal in place with Real Madrid for the defender, Goal can confirm.
The Red Devils are yet to make an official bid for Varane and are continuing to bide their time, knowing they hold the aces in negotiations with the Spanish club who have accepted the Frenchman will leave.
No transfer is expected to be announced imminently, and with Varane - who has utmost respect for Madrid - having not asked to leave, he is happy to play the waiting game until his future is resolved.
