Liverpool, Man United and PSG interested in move for Raphael Varane

Liverpool, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in signing Raphael Varane this summer, according to Sport [via Sport Witness].

The Real Madrid centre-back could depart at the end of the season, with the Reds linked with a move for him over the weekend.

It is claimed that the La Liga giants want as much as €100million for the France international, however, having been one of the leading defenders of his generation.

Liverpool, United and PSG all see Varane as a ‘very desirable footballer’ and could launch a summer bid to sign him, should he not extend his stay in Madrid.

Varane is an exceptional player with undoubted pedigree, having won four Champions League crowns and three La Liga titles.

That being said, it could be hard for Liverpool to justify paying such a huge amount for the 27-year-old, especially as he isn’t a young player with many years ahead of him at the top.

Varane’s wages could also be a stumbling block, with the likes of United and PSG arguably likely to be able to guarantee him big money every week.

A younger alternative seems a more logical scenario, such as RB Leipzig star Ibrahima Konate, or even retaining the services of Ozan Kabak on a permanent deal.
