News of Raphael Varane’s Departure Only A Tactic for Salary Increases in Madrid

DBasia.news –  Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane reportedly wants to leave and attract attention from Manchester United. Nevertheless, the news is believed to be a strategy for Varane.

Raphael Varane is still the main player in Real Madrid’s back line. Together with Sergio Ramos, the player worked together to block the opponent’s attack.

However, the 25-year player is rumored to want to feel a new challenge for his career. The news made Manchester United alert.

Earlier, Manchester United were one step away from getting Raphael Varane from Lens in 2011. However, the 2018 World Cup winner prefers to move to Real Madrid.

“Manchester United? They just brought Phil Jones to my position,” Varane said in 2014.

“My first reaction when Real Madrid wanted to bring is, of course, I want to leave. I only decided after knowing the coach wanted to play me in the first team,” continued the player.

Raphael Varane’s presence at Manchester United’s back line can certainly provide additional strength. Because in this season the defense sector is one of the biggest weaknesses. Several times David De Gea’s goal can be easily penetrated.

However, other news said Raphael Varane deliberately used Manchester United’s interest in getting a new contract. Moreover, currently, he is a trusted player of Zinedine Zidane.

This is not the first time a Real Madrid player use other clubs to get new contracts. Previously, Sergio Ramos was often associated with other clubs, but in the end, it added to his tenure at Los Blancos.
