Raphael Varane’s future at Manchester United is not guaranteed. As a result, Saudi Arabia is showing interest in the ageing centre back.
In recent months, the former France international has been connected to a move to the Middle East, since a number of his former Real Madrid teammates are currently playing football in Saudi Arabia.
One of them is Cristiano Ronaldo, the former star of Manchester United, who is undoubtedly already talking to Varane about coming to Saudi Arabia from Manchester.
Al Ittihad and Al Nassr, two Saudi Pro League teams, are reportedly “working on offers” for Varane, according to 90min.
When United declined to activate the one-year extension in Varane’s soon-to-expire contract, speculation regarding his future intensified. Others think that because of Ineos’s anticipated personnel and structural changes as a result of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment, United’s decision is being delayed.
It always saddens me when elite athletes, even ones who have passed on, decide to pursue careers in leagues such as the Saudi Pro League. Relocating to the MLS seems less gloomy.
In the event that Varane departs at the end of the current campaign, United will be need to acquire a first-rate replacement to play with Lisandro Martinez in the middle of defence.
