Agreement almost done between Man Utd and Real Madrid, just final details to be completed and then paperworks time. It’s a “matter of hours or days”. Here-we-go. 🇫🇷
Varane has a total agreement on personal terms too. 🤝
United held ‘positive discussions’ in the latest round of negotiations and the deal is now believed to be all but done. Varane may have to quarantine before he is able to start training with United.
The France international is also believed to have studied United’s defending from last season, when they conceded 18 goals from set-pieces.
United have been working on a £50million deal for Varane for upwards of a month, having expressed their firm interest in the France international midway through last season.

Madrid have already offset Varane’s expected departure with the addition of David Alaba on a free transfer from Bayern Munich.
