Manchester United enter decisive talks with Real Madrid over Raphael Varane
According to the Daily Star, Manchester United have entered into decisive talks with Real Madrid over Raphael Varane. United are said to have started negotiations with Real for a significant period. It has been said that this week would be decisive for this deal to go through.
These are optimistic times for Manchester United in the transfer window. Tom Heaton has already been signed while Jadon Sancho was unveiled as a Manchester United player. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also handed a new long-term deal, which shows the board’s faith in him.
One more deal that United have kept in the works is that of Raphael Varane. Real are in a bit of a spot, with Varane in the last year of his current deal. They will have to sell him this summer or lose him for free next year. United are hoping to take advantage of the same and sign the player they have kept an eye on for a while.
As talks seem to drag on forever now, this week would be a decisive one. United have been in negotiations with Real asking about their demands and other fine points. The player also wants to experience a new challenge after a decade in Spain. A vital week awaits which will end up deciding this transfer.
