Manchester United central defender Raphael Varane could join the ranks of Bayern this winter! It is reported that the Red Devils are ready to listen to offers for the sale of the 30-year-old Frenchman, who until recently was a concrete footballer of the main team.

Raphael Varane is a true legend of Real Madrid, for which he played from 2011 to 2021. Four Champions League Cups, a number of domestic trophies and gold medals at the 2018 World Cup are clear confirmation that the French center-back’s career has been successful. For the last three years, Varane has been defending the colors of Manchester United, but no longer demonstrates top-class football.

This is due to a series of injuries, which disrupted the plans of Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag to entrust the center of defense to the Varane-Martinez link. Considering Rafael’s high salary (about 20 million euros per year), people at Manchester are thinking about his importance for the club. In addition to the above-mentioned Martinez, both Maguire and Lindelof can cover the center of defense, and Manchester United’s huge transfer budget allows them to easily enter the transfer market in search of another player.

Bayern, whose center of defense is a vulnerable spot, can take advantage of Varane's situation. Yes, there are young, but already high-status De Ligt and Upamecano, as well as newcomer Kim Min-Jae, but they are frankly not enough for an active fight on two fronts and tactical variability. In early October, they tried to bring Jerome Boateng back to the club, but that transfer fell through.

It is possible that a similar fate awaits the deal with Varane. It is unlikely that Bayern will want to make an aging center back with frequent injuries the highest paid player on the team. In this case, Raphael will have to reduce his financial demands. Manchester United itself is ready to consider options for selling the Frenchman and get about 30 million euros for him.

Footballers of Raphael Varane's level are a good chance to become stronger for any team in the world. If Bayern manage to resolve all financial issues with the 30-year-old Frenchman and persuade Manchester United, then the Munich team will receive a player with a winning mentality, which is what Tuchel’s men are so lacking at this stage of the season.
