Manchester United are in a full swing at the moment. They finally captured their long time target Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, then they extended Ole Gunnar Solsjaer’s contract until 2024, and they would surely like to continute in this fast pace, but their next transfer target, Raphael Varane, won’t come so quickly. At the moment, around 4.5 billion Ksh is the difference between Real Madrid’s and United’s evaluation of the player.Red Devils finally have their man – after two years of trying Manchester United seal the dealThe French international, was bought 10 years ago from Lens for only 1.2 billion, but now the player is in his last year of contract and he got a clear indication from the club that he won’t get an improved contract. Reports from Spain suggest that Varane had a change of heart at the start of the season, party because of the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti as head coach, but mainly due to Sergio Ramos’ departure to PSG. When Manchester showed interest, Varane used the Red Devil’s involvement and tried to force a new and impoved contract with the Royal club, as his wish was primary to stay in Spain. After he got the answer he didn’t want to hear (yes to a new deal, but no to an improved financial offer), Varane decided it’s definitely time to go.Pogba fever at Old Trafford: French maestro says no to a new contract because he wants to leaveFrom that point, he quickly agreed to personal terms with the English club, and Spanish media are reporting that the deal betwen the player and the club is agreed in principal. The harder part is for the two clubs to agree on the fee. Real wants around 6.4 billion, while Manchester believes that 4.4 billion is the fair price for a player with one year left in his contract. And now we see a waiting game. Manchester believes that Real will blink first, as Varane could leave the club in 2022 as a free agent, and Real thinks that Manchester’s need for a fist class defender will prevail.
