RAPHAEL VARANE could leave Manchester United on a free transfer next summer, according to reports.
The Frenchman joined the Red Devils in a £42million move from Real Madrid in 2021.
United originally announced that he signed a four-year contract, but his current deal actually expires in June, reports claim.
According to The Athletic, Varane penned a three-year deal with the option of a one-year extension after arriving at Old Trafford.
That means he could become a free agent at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
With his contract set to run down, the defender could open talks with foreign clubs in January ahead of a potential transfer.
