# Tottenham Hotspur: Fans in disbelief over reports concerning Raphael Varane

**Tottenham Hotspur fans have been expressing their disbelief at reports concerning Real Madrid central defender Raphael Varane.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”269463″\]

[According to El Des Marque](https://eldesmarque.com/madrid/real-madrid/noticias/180281-mourinho-lo-quiere-a-el-80-millones-a-florentino-perez-y-no-es-por-bale-ed), the Lilywhites are eyeing a move for the France international defender ahead of a potential transfer in the January window.

It is being reported by the Spanish publication that manager [Jose Mourinho](https://eldesmarque.com/madrid/real-madrid/noticias/180281-mourinho-lo-quiere-a-el-80-millones-a-florentino-perez-y-no-es-por-bale-ed) has ‘requested’ an offer be made for the 26-year-old.

Varane is said to be at the top of a list collated by the north London outfit with the Lilywhites ready to offer [€80m](https://eldesmarque.com/madrid/real-madrid/noticias/180281-mourinho-lo-quiere-a-el-80-millones-a-florentino-perez-y-no-es-por-bale-ed) (roughly £68m) for the player, a bid which isn’t thought to be enough to persuade Los Blancos into selling him.

The news comes amid the contract extension of Belgium international Toby Alderweireld, who has signed a new deal up until 2023.

Fans aren’t feeling hopeful over a deal for the La Liga ace as they took to Twitter to react to the news.

Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:

> I’m sure he’ll be attracted by the bumper £40k/week contract and the opportunity to test himself in the Europa League.
