Real Madrid’s prized possession, Raphael Varane, could be heading towards an exit from the club at the end of the current season. Varane’s contract at the Santiago Bernabeu runs out in June 2022, and it is understood that the Whites are ready to cash in on the player.
A report published by an Italian publication, Calciomercato, has claimed that the recent developments in the situation of Raphael Varane has put Serie A giants, Juventus on red alert. The Turin-based outfit are looking to strike a deal with the Madrid-based team to secure the Frenchman’s services.
Varane was considered one of the untouchables in the Real Madrid team, but the poor performances from the side this season have even put the central defender’s position in danger. Additionally, the unprecedented global pandemic has severely affected the Galacticos who now find themselves in a cash crunch situation.
Raphael Varane To Juventus
It is understood that the Whites would require a fee in the region of €50 million for the Frenchman. However, the current contract situation of Sergio Ramos will complicate things for the transfer to go through. The 4th Official takes a sneak peek into what could go on behind the scenes at Madrid this season.
What’s In Store For Raphael Varane?
Juventus are a side in construction under Andrea Pirlo, and they are expected to go through massive changes in the summer. Varane will, without a doubt, make his way straight into the starting eleven if he plans to make the switch to Turin. Juventus currently boasts the likes of Merih Demiral, Matthijs de Ligt and Leonardo Bonucci in central defence and the addition of Varane will certainly spice up things at the Allianz Stadium.
If Varane decides otherwise and plans to stay put at Madrid, the defender would also be staring at a bright future. Varane is destined to captain and lead the Real Madrid team in the years to come, as he is already the fourth captain in the squad. The player has won it all at Real Madrid including three UEFA Champions League titles on the bounce and four in total. The news of the departure of Varane will be heartbreaking for the Madridistas across the globe.
How Do Real Madrid Go About It?
The Whites are anyways on the lookout for a central defender with Sergio Ramos heading towards the exit doors at the Valdebebas. The sale of Varane will complicate things further for Real Madrid who are currently facing difficulties sealing a deal for David Alaba.
It will be absolutely criminal of the Real Madrid hierarchy to let a defender of Varane’s calibre leave the club at such a delicate moment. Ramos’ departure itself will leave a hole in the side that would take numerous years to be filled. At the same time, the departure of Varane will make Real Madrid lose its identity as a team.
