The current circumstances at Real Madrid have forced the Spanish giants to look for reinforcements in the winter transfer window, and fans will be glad to know that a familiar face could return to the Bernabeu to help their ailing defense.
Reports coming in from England and Spain state that Los Merengues have been given the green-light to initiate negotiations with Manchester United for Raphäel Varane. The French footballer is unhappy with his current situation under Erik Ten Hag, and he has already told his agent to search for other employment opportunities.
Varane joined Manchester United in 2021, and while he has been a decent addition to the team's defensive unit, he has not been as consistent for the Red Devils as he used to be for Real Madrid. That fact may be the reason behind his recent role as a substitute, which may also be the cause for his decision to search for another club.
The player is reportedly set to push for an exit away from Old Trafford, and given his contract expires in June, Manchester United could be willing to transfer the player for a small fee. As for Real Madrid, an article by As states that coach Ancelotti would be rather glad to welcome Varane back, mainly because the player knows the pressures that come with the job and would also need very little time to adapt to the city.
Real Madrid are also aware about Bayern's interest in the player, but even if the move is still in its initial stages, the Spanish side is confident that their past history with Varane may be key to see him making an unexpected return to the Bernabeu.
