UK (Commonwealth) _After David Alaba’s injury, Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid is considering re-signing Raphael Varane from Manchester United.
The backs of Carlo Ancelotti’s guys are quite short. There are just two senior center defenders available who are fit, which is rather concerning. Returning Varane to the Santiago Bernabeu would address a number of problems.
Before he left Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 to join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United, Raphael Varane was a superstar there. At the time, many people considered the Red Devils’ £34 million (The Athletic) purchase to be an incredible value. But apparently, nothing has gone according to plan, has it?
This season, Varane has only played 431 minutes of football in the Premier League. Many believe that the France international is tired of playing at Old Trafford. Varane’s future is now uncertain ahead of the January transfer window, and German writer Christian Falk has reported that Real Madrid wants to re-sign him.
After it was determined that David Alaba had suffered an ACL tear, the Galacticos were forced to play without him the rest of the season. He is on the sidelines with fellow defender Eder Militao. At the back, Real Madrid now only has Antonio Rudiger and Nacho Fernandez available. If Falk is to be believed, they want to get Varane back the following month.
“Following David Alaba’s injury: Real Madrid is interested in Raphaël Varane (30),” he tweeted. Just a few days ago, The Athletic disclosed that Raphael Varane’s Manchester United contract truly ends at the end of this current campaign.
The Red Devils can choose to extend it by one more year, but Varane will undoubtedly give a return to Real Madrid significant consideration if the opportunity arises. At the Bernabeu, the Frenchman established himself as one of the world’s top defenders. There, he emerged victorious, and he remains competent to work under Carlo Ancelotti. It’s unclear, though, if Manchester United would be ready to let him leave.
The subject of Real Madrid’s potential action during the winter transfer window has been discussed a lot in recent days. Due to David Alaba’s ACL injury, Carlo Ancelotti’s main alternatives for a senior center back are Nacho Fernandez and Antonio Rudiger; this might be changed.
Although club management is eager to buy the right player, Ancelotti wants a central defender to be bought in January. It’s possible that Raphael Varane, a well-known face, is the target.
Real Madrid is reportedly thinking about making a winter bid for Varane, according to Bild (via MD). The 30-year-old, who was a vital member of Old Trafford’s team when he left Los Blancos to join Manchester United in 2021, In recent weeks, he has had difficulty getting consistent minutes.
If Varane were to sign, he would probably do so on loan; but, given their own defensive injury problems, it is unclear if Man United will permit this to happen. Real Madrid will be monitoring the situation for the time being.
