According to various sources, Man United is finally on the brink of signing a major Real Madrid star in the next hours or days. 

As we’ve been reporting to you over the last few weeks, Man United is very close to signing a Real Madrid star for a great fee. We are talking about Raphael Varane, the French defender who has won everything for Los Blancos. Over the last few weeks, both clubs had been trying to reach a proper agreement to get Varane an ideal exit from the Spanish capital. Since he became a professional, the Frenchman has been nothing but outstanding for Los Blancos.

Alongside Sergio Ramos, Varane became one of the club’s most important players after winning a staggering three consecutive Champions League titles with Zidane as his manager. But all great things must come to their end. Rafa was convinced his time as a Real Madrid player was over and he was already looking for new adventures. The Premier League is the competition that appeals to him the most and United quickly noticed. As one of the world’s most powerful football clubs, it was obvious Varan would feel attracted by the opportunity. 

How much will Varane cost?

According to Fabrizio Romano, Raphael Varane already reached personal terms with Manchester United. Only the clubs needed to get to a reliable transfer fee and they might be there already. Romano recently reported that both clubs agreed to €45 million plus add-ons as Varane is packing his bags to leave Madrid. If the add-ons are fulfilled, the final transfer fee will reach €60 million.

Initially, Florentino Perez wanted the entire sum for a direct Varan transfer. However, the Red Devils negotiated with him and convinced him that €45 million was more logical for both sides. This transfer is pretty much a done deal. A possible announcement will be made in the following hours or days. But by the start of the weekend, Raphael Varane will be a Manchester United player. Here we go!
