United continues to have Varene between eyebrows. The Old Trafford entity has contacted the player's representatives in the last three years, looking for a way to take him to the Premier, without it being possible. Varane (27 years old) has a contract with Madrid until 2022, and United leaders understand that this summer, when he enters the last of his current relationship with the white club, it is his best opportunity. According to the Manchester News Evening, a local newspaper always very well informed about United affairs, they are preparing a final offensive. Madrid, for its part, is already in negotiations to renew the French central, something that should presumably be announced before the end of the year or early next.
The Manchester News Evening recounts how United had the opportunity to sign a young Varane in 2011 but was discarded by Ferguson. Which then, bet on Jones. And now, ten years later, the circle is closing, because the intention is to sell Jones and sign Varane. After the departure of Ferdinand and Vidic, United are looking to find a defense axis that will allow them to fight for important titles again. That is why Ed Woodward, the CEO of the entity, did not tremble when it came to signing Maguire for a record figure, 80 million pounds.
The Manchester Evening News also points out that the time United was closest to throwing the house out the window for Varane was in 2018 with Mourinho still on the bench. So Ed Woodward set two great strategic goals, Varane for defense and Verratti for the center back. One hundred million pounds were even provisioned to tempt Madrid for the central defender, but he (25 years old) had just renewed for five seasons (the previous year) and Madrid answered, in a first poll, that this operation was impossible to carry out.
United, the great threat.
With the future of Ramos still in the air, it is difficult for Real Madrid to consider selling Varane. Even more so when the signing of Militao has been a disappointment and that the other central, Nacho, is already 30 years old and has a contract until 2022. Vallejo, now on loan, did not work either. Either way, the advance by AS a few dates ago is confirmed, that United is Madrid's great threat in the future market. And not just for Varane. There are several strategic objectives facing both entities, especially Haaland and Camavinga. The Norwegian forward is represented by Raiola, who has a very good relationship with Ed Woodward and is also Pogba's agent. And the Camavinga environment has already been surveyed about the possibility that the Premier is his next destination.
