Manchester United are interested in signing Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane. Initial talks have taken place and the France international remains a player United have under consideration, although other clubs are thought to be interested, including Paris Saint-Germain. Varane still has a year left on his Real Madrid contract and it remains to be seen if the Spanish club will ultimately allow him to leave. Fellow defender Sergio Ramos has already departed the club this summer after his contract expired. United know Varane is free to sign a pre-contract agreement in January and would therefore be keen to negotiate a lower transfer fee.
