Manchester United in Talks with Raphael Varane as Transfer Fee Set

Manchester United have been granted permission by Real Madrid to discuss personal terms with defender Raphael Varane. The Red Devils are eager to bolster their defence this transfer window, with Varane high on their wishlist.

Varane's current contract with Real Madrid expires next year, making him a prime target for clubs looking to strengthen their defence. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær has made strengthening the backline a top priority. The French international initially requested a weekly wage of £200,000, but has agreed to lower his demands to £180,000.

Talks between Varane's camp and Manchester United representatives have begun, with a potential transfer fee of around £35 million on the table. However, the deal is not yet finalised, as negotiations between the clubs have not yet started. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain are also in contact with Varane's camp, adding another layer of competition for his signature.

If Manchester United can agree personal terms with Raphael Varane, negotiations between the clubs will commence. The transfer fee is reportedly set at £35 million, but competition from other clubs, such as PSG, may impact the outcome. Strengthening the defence is a key priority for Manchester United, and securing Varane's signature would be a significant step towards achieving that goal.
