Manchester United star Raphael Varane reportedly has no plans to move to Saudi Arabia despite links with Al-Ittihad. It was recently claimed that former France international Karim Benzema planned to convince Varane to join the swathe of stars moving to the Saudi Pro League. Reports suggested that Benzema wanted to persuade Varane to join Al-Ittihad. The reigning Saudi champions would need to offload a foreign star as their squad already meets the maximum of eight. The former Real Madrid defender is reportedly ‘content’ at Old Trafford and does not want to join former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo and co. in Saudi Arabia.
