Atletico Madrid have set their sights on Raphael Varane, the departing Manchester United defender. The former Real Madrid centre-half is set to leave United after the FA Cup final on Saturday.
According to Okdiario’s chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito, there is a player who is making a comeback in Madrid. Varane, who spent many successful years in Madrid, left a positive impression during his time there.
Varane’s contract with his current club expires on June 30, and he is keen to return to Madrid. Interestingly, it is not his former club that is showing interest in him. Atletico Madrid is the team from the capital that has expressed their admiration for the French defender.
“They are talking, I’m not saying he wants to go. He wants to return to Madrid and they tell me that Atletico would be interested,” revealed Inda. With Stefan Savic’s departure looming, Atletico will need to find suitable replacements for several players.
In summary, Atletico Madrid is eyeing Raphael Varane as they look to strengthen their defensive line. The Frenchman’s desire to return to Madrid has sparked interest from the capital club. With Savic’s imminent departure, Atletico will be in need of reinforcements.
