Ever-reliable, famed journalist Fabrizio Romano -always with the most reliable up-to-date transfer news – Raphael Varane has confirmed to Real Madrid that he is keen on a move to the Premier League and has also told Manchester United he would be ready to accept their contract offer.
Recent Sky Sports reports revealed that Manchester United were given permission to talk to Varane and are now in the midst of negotiating personal terms with the player over a potential transfer to Old Trafford this summer, with indications that the defender would be willing to make the move to United should an agreement be reached.
Varane’s proposed move to the Red Devils now appears to be edging ever closer, with the 28-year-old having told Real Madrid that he is keen to play in the Premier League among the top flight.
Romano alleges that Varane has confirmed to Real Madrid his desire to experience the Premier League and that he will respectfully wait for the club agreement to come through.
The highly-credible Italian journalist suggests that the World Cup winner is indeed eager to make the move to Old Trafford this summer and has even indicated to the Red Devils that he’d be ready to accept their contract proposal.
One of the world’s best central defenders, the 28-year-old has unrivaled experience at the highest levels having garnered 19 trophies which include four Champions Leagues and a World Cup medal. His winning mentality will undoubtedly be a key motivational attribute in the United dressing room should he successfully make the move.
Past achievements aside, Varane proved last season that he is still at the top of his game as, according to WhoScored, he averaged 3.5 clearances per game in La Liga last term and won 2.4 aerial duels each match.
