      Varane is out of contract in a year’s time and Los Blancos do not want to lose him on a free while battling the pandemic financial crisis.
      According to The Athletic, a bid as little as £40million could persuade Real to sell up after talks with the player’s representatives.
      And he could be one of several stars to leave Madrid, who are gathering funds ahead of a bid for Kylian Mbappe.
      The club’s mammoth wage bill needs to be cut before they can offer the Paris Saint-Germain forward a contract.
      Mbappe, 22, is also out of contract in 2022 and Real are reportedly plotting a free transfer deal with a mega salary offer.
      Varane is currently starring for France at Euro 2020 and is expected to start against Portugal on Wednesday night.

      It has been suggested that United will use Paul Pogba, also out of contract in a year’s time, as a makeweight for the centre-back.
      Manchester City and Chelsea are also as tracking Varane but the Red Devils are described as the frontrunners to secure his services.
      A number of defenders have been named as targets for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team, who want a new partner for Harry Maguire.
      Pau Torres and Jules Kounde continue to be linked in deals that would cost north of £50m.

      Villarreal and Spain ace Torres recently stated that he is ‘calm’ about his future while attempting to deliver a last-16 spot for his country.
      The 24-year-old said: “I have a contract at Villarreal, I just won the first title for the club, we have qualified for the Champions League and it is something that excites me a lot.
      “Now I’m focused on the Euros. Then the Super Cup and nice things will come, so I’m totally calm.”

      Mbappe, 22, is approaching the final year of his contract in Paris and has no intention of penning an extension.
      Real Madrid appears the most likely destination having been long-term admirers of the rapid forward.
      Reports in France even suggest Mbappe has told PSG chiefs he wants to quit this summer.
      And the Ligue 1 club are already preparing for his departure by plotting a lucrative move for Juventus ace Ronaldo.
      Corriere dello Sport write how PSG chiefs want to replace Mbappe with a fellow world star and Ronaldo is prepared to listen to offers.
      It is believed Juventus are also ready to let their main man leave with the pandemic crippling their finances.
      Ronaldo still has one-year left on his £540,000-a-week contract but the Old Lady are eager to get him off the wage bill.
      The world will be watching in anticipation this evening as Mbappe and Ronaldo come up against each other on the biggest stage of all in France’s clash with Portugal.

      The 35-year-old is at an advanced age but is still considered as one of the best centre-backs in the world and his departure has led to interest from some of football’s top clubs.
      Manchester United, Manchester City and PSG have all been monitoring the Spain international.
      According to Tiempo de Juego, however, the legendary defender has told other Los Blancos players that he is on his way to Paris.
      Reports suggested that Ramos has been prioritising the French giants, who have offered him a deal that is ‘financially superior’ to what the two Manchester clubs have proposed.

      But if negotiations collapse, then the former Real captain would prefer to join United over City.
      Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking for a top defender to partner up with Harry Maguire at centre-back ahead of this coming season.
      The Spaniard held a tearful press conference last Thursday as he bid farewell to the club where he won 22 major honours.
      An emotional Ramos said: “I’ll always keep Real Madrid in my heart.

      “A marvellous stage in my life is over, but a new exciting future awaits and I am looking forward to showing my level and winning some more trophies.
      “You’re never prepared to say adios to Real Madrid but the moment has arrived. This is an ‘adieu’ as sooner or later I will return.
      “I would like to thank the fans, they carried me in their arms at all times.
      “I would have liked to say goodbye at the Bernabeu. But I will always carry you in my heart.”

      Man Utd interested in Raphael Varane transfer from Real Madrid but yet to decide on opening offer amid £50m bid rumours

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are kicking on with a busy summer in the transfer market amid talk of a bid for Raphael Varane.Varane, 28, has been a star at Real Madrid for a decade and boasts a trophy cabinet containing four Champions League titles, three LaLiga crowns and a World Cup.

      The Red Devils are determined to sign a new partner for Harry Maguire this summer, in the hope of generating a Premier League title challenge.
      It had been reported by Manchester Evening News that an offer of £50million was sent to Real – and swiftly rejected.
      Los Blancos were said to have asked for £80m despite their player being just a year away from leaving for free.
      Talks over a new contract have failed to progress and it had previously been suggested that Real would cash in if Varane refused to sign.
      A fee of £80m would be difficult to meet for any team in the pandemic crisis, including United who are also discussing a deal for Jadon Sancho.
      However, the club will be able to offer Varane a pre-agreement contract to join as a free agent in January if he does not commit to Real.
      By that point it is expected a host of rivals would also join the race to sign the France international.

      Chelsea are one other club thought to be interested in the 28-year-old.
      Sevilla’s Jules Kounde has also been named as on United’s shortlist.
      Madrid have already let Sergio Ramos go this summer amid a mounting debt problem, but have signed David Alaba to bolster their defence.

      He told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad: “It didn’t even occur to me for a second that it would be better if I left.
      “I’m not going to leave a failure. I want to show that I am made for Real Madrid.
      “The last two years have been difficult. I was in Madrid without actually being in Madrid, you know? And if I played, it was difficult because of Covid.
      “We played in a stadium without fans – I had just signed to play football in a full Bernabeu.
      “I hope that the construction of our stadium will be finished soon and that the stands will be full again. I need that.”

       Hazard has played 43 times for Los Blancos, scoring five goals, yet has been unable to string a long run of games together due to multiple injury issues.
      And he has admitted that he is feeling the mental effects of his absences.
      The Belgian continued: “I’m still the same – I still have fun. But I can’t say I’m happy.
      “I’m only myself when I can have fun on the pitch. That has not happened in the last two years at Madrid.

      “You rehabilitate to come back stronger but if there are five, six, seven injuries, it is much more difficult mentally.
      “But I carry on. It’s not like I’m 36 and can say enough is enough. I also get a lot of support during those periods.”

      “To go to Spain, even if it was with [Zinedine] Zidane, it was another country, another culture.”

      Real Madrid ‘will buy Mbappe as gift for Ancelotti sparking three-way transfer with Cristiano Ronaldo and Icardi’

      by

      REAL MADRID will reportedly increase their efforts to sign Kylian Mbappe following Carlo Ancelotti’s appointment.The ex-Everton boss could land the Paris Saint-Germain star this summer, leading to a potential exchange of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauro Icardi.

      Following the merry-go-round of managers Ancelotti, Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri, and Mauricio Pochettino are assessing their options.
      According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian’s arrival in Madrid will lead to the club attempting to sign Mbappe as a ‘gift’ to the coach.
      Real failed to win a trophy in 2020-21 and linking up the striker with France team-mate Karim Benzema is seen as a surefire route to success.
      On Wednesday night, the pair combined in a 3-0 friendly win over Wales.
      Mbappe, 22, is out of contract in 12 months’ time leading to lengthy talks with PSG over his future.
      If a deal cannot be agreed, Madrid are said to be confident that they can swoop in and nab their number one target for a relatively cheap fee.

      Pulling off the deal will lead to Les Parisiens seeking a new star forward to play alongside Neymar – and that is where Ronaldo comes in.
      The 36-year-old is also entering the final year of his Juve contract and financial difficulties in Turin have led to speculation over whether the club would sanction a sale.
      PSG are predicted to come in for Ronaldo if Mbappe leaves, whereby Juventus would seek to sign Icardi.

      The Argentine striker has long been a target for the Bianconeri, leading to rumours of Inter Milan putting an anti-Juve clause in the deal that sent him to Paris.
      The exact details of the swap remain to be seen and the Italian giants have also been linked with trading Ronaldo for Paul Pogba.
      One alternative replacement for the Portuguese star is Marseille star Arkadiusz Milik, according to reports in Italy.

      How Real Madrid may line up if Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo sign
      Having won the Champions League during his first stay at the Bernabeu, between 2013 and 2015, he will be a familiar to much of the squad.
      Key men from that famous win over Atletico Madrid included Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Isco, all of which are entering a huge summer for their careers.
      The prospect of Ronaldo leaving Juventus is still up for discussion ahead of the final year of his contract in Turin.
      Massimiliano Allegri must decide whether he wants to back the winger, 36, or move his top earner on in a bid to bolster the Old Lady’s shaky finances.
      Madrid had previously ruled out a move but Ancelotti’s return may lead to a change of stance.
      The pair worked well together during the coach’s previous stay, leading to a five-star review from his top forward.

      Ronaldo declared in 2015: “He’s like a big teddy bear, he’s really sensitive and is a great guy.
      “He would speak with us every day, but not just with me, with all of the players. He had great fun with us.
      “He’s a great person and my only wish is that every player gets the chance to work with him because he’s such a great guy and a fantastic coach.
      “I miss him a lot. I want to work with him again, but I’m doing fine now too. I’m working with a new coach and I’m happy now too. But it’s great to have these good memories of him.”
      Kylian Mbappe is thought to be a top target for Real but the club will not be able to afford multiple megastars despite going over a year without a signing.
      Should the Paris Saint-Germain star not arrive, attention could be placed on the defence amid Sergio Ramos’ potential departure.

      Potential XI if Jules Kounde, Gareth Bale and Gianluigi Donnarumma are favoured
      Raphael Varane could too leave if he refuses to sign a new deal.
      The Frenchman’s exit to Manchester United may open the door to £60million-rated Sevilla star Jules Kounde, who is linked with both Madrid and the Red Devils and is open to a switch.
      Already snapped up is David Alaba, who joins as a free agent from Bayern Munich, and AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is much-fancied ahead of his Rossoneri contract expiring.
      Ancelotti will also have to decide how much of Zidane’s planned squad clearout he wants to carry out.

      Isco and Gareth Bale were both eyed for exits but arguably enjoyed their best years under the Italian, leading to a potential reprieve.
      Bringing Ronaldo and Bale back into the fold could mean one last outing alongside Karim Benzema in the famed BBC frontline that won multiple titles at home and abroad.
      However, other stars of Ancelotti’s first spell such as James Rodriguez and Angel Di Maria are not thought to be on his agenda.
