Bayern Munich have learned Manchester United could be open to selling Raphael Varane in January, the Mirror reports. Erik ten Hag has dropped the defender for “tactical reasons” of late with Harry Maguire back in the fold, and now Varane could be exploring his options a little over two years after joining United from Real Madrid.
The report adds: “A deal would likely cost in the region of €20m (£17.5m) to €30m (£26.2m). Bayern would also struggle to afford Varane’s annual salary, which reportedly stands at £17m.
“While it remains to be seen if Varane will angle for a transfer if he continues to play second fiddle to the likes of Maguire and Evans, the World Cup winner did hint he would be open to a Real Madrid return earlier this year.”
