Mourinho has reportedly told Tottenham to sign Varane from Real Madrid, per El Desmarque reports.
Mourinho signed Varane for Madrid during his time as manager at the Bernabeu and is reportedly keen on a reunion in North London, having also failed to prise him away from the Spanish capital while he was in charge at Manchester United.
The reports that the Portuguese boss has now urged Daniel Levy to try to sign Varane in an attempt to bolster his defensive line.
Spurs have conceded 15 goals and kept just one clean sheet in Mourinho's nine matches at the helm so far, and he is eager to tighten things up at the back during the January transfer window.
The report claims that Spurs are preparing a bid of €80m for the World Cup-winning centre-back, although Madrid are likely to hold out for a bigger fee.
Varane is thought to be open to the idea of playing in the Premier League amid speculation that he is seeking a new challenge.

Lol, Jose Seem to foget he is at Spurs not Man Utd or Chelsea. Spurs would never splash that kind of amount on a single player! He shuld know that his spending spree will be limited by joining Spurs.

Possibility of Harry Kane going to RM is more than Varane coming to Tottenhan. 😏

Varane is one of the best defenders in the game in my opinion...if Tottenham can get him it'll be HUGE boost for them but i dont see this transfer really happening since Real Madrid are a bigger club than Spurs and he's a starter there, why would he move to North London

Lewy I hope your ready with your cheque book. As far has we know mourinho was never going to sign for a club who is not ready to spend. So obviously lewy must have agreed to mourinho's terms and conditions. Daniel lewy I would suggest to give mourinho what he wants. otherwise you don't want to see a unhappy mourinho trust me.

Out of all the defenders to want a reunion with, VARANE!![Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]I wouldn't mind if he had said Nacho... Varane is basically the future of our defense. Unless he himself feels as tho he's won everything with Madrid and decides to leave in search of a new challenge then I can't see him leaving anytime soon. Zizou too wouldn't be in favour of such a bizarre idea.
