Manchester United and Chelsea fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are encouraged after The Express revealed that Real Madrid only want £20 million in return for the frustrated Raphael Varane.
Chelsea and Manchester United seem to be favourites to capture the agile French defender and it would be an enthralling saga should both sides bid for him.
The reason why he is linked with a move away from the Bernabeu is because he is not getting enough first team football for his liking.
If Jose Mourinho can lure him into Stamford Bridge, punters have the opinion that he would represent the ideal long-term replacement for John Terry.
The alternative move for Varane is to Old Trafford where he would instantly be thrown into the thick of it as Louis van Gaal is desperately seeking defensive reinforcements.
To add to Varane’s frustration, Real Madrid are lining up a fresh contract for the experienced Pepe and this is supposedly the final nail in the coffin for the 21-year-old who has largely played second fiddle to him and Sergio Ramos since his move from Lens in 2011.
Manchester United and Chelsea fans. Is £20 million for a player such as Varane a snip in the modern-day transfer market? Let us know your thoughts below.
