Raphael Varane is no longer in Erik ten Hag’s plans

After 10 years at the Santiago Bernabeu, Raphael Varane was transferred to Manchester United for €40 million.

Since then, the French defender has made just 78 appearances for the team at Old Trafford, and throughout that time he has been plagued by serious injuries.

No longer in Erik ten Heg’s plans, the 30-year-old is considering a move away from United, with Real Madrid first to express an interest in bringing him back to the Bernabeu.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side need fresh blood in defense after losing Eder Militao and David Alaba to serious injuries.

Not only Spaniards are interested in the services of a player who has 4 UEFA Champions League trophies.

According to Fichajes journalists, Bayern Munich have conveyed through sports director Christoph Freund that they are ready to bring in a new central defender in the winter, and the sum prepared by the Germans is 20 million euros.
