Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has weighed in on the Raphael Varane transfer saga amid interest from Manchester United.
Varane is out of contract at the Santiago Bernabeu next summer and that has seen him linked with a move to Old Trafford with Los Blancos in the difficult position of needing to renew the defender’s contract or selling him to avoid a departure for free next summer.
According to the Manchester Evening News, United have already made an offer of around £50million, but it does not appear there has been a concrete move from the Reds just yet.

Or at least according to Real Madrid president Perez, who was very relaxed about the situation, telling Onda Cero that the club will deal with Varane’s situation after he returns from this summer’s Euro 2020, where he is competing for France.
“I read news in papers and I don’t know anything,” said Perez. “He is at the European championship and we will deal with renewals later.
“I have not spoken with the player and I don’t know what he wants. If he wants to leave, he will say so. And if he wants to stay, he will say so.”
Varane has been with Real Madrid since 2011, since making more than 300 appearances and winning all there is to win in the famous white.
Real Madrid will be reluctant to lose Varane having already lost Sergio Ramos for free this summer, though Perez does not seem to be too stressed over the idea of the experienced Frenchman’s departure.

He is so full of crap and lying SOB. Your star defender has one year left on his contract and needs to be negotiated with and compensated properly, instead he negotiates with Vazquez and renews his contract and says he has not spoken to Varane? There lies him inept attitude
Do you even know anything? Varane stated as most player did that they are focusing on Euro. and after he'll decide you want the Man to go knocking at the man door in which ever country he travels to?

why should he be stressed. This man has signed legends upon legends. He has made real Madrid a team known not only for competing purposes but winning day in day out. If you think being a president of the best club in the world is easy just try gathering your siblings and give them a command I'd everyone will accept thesame thing. He has board of directors who also have their say in running the club. Do you think he just wakes up and takes decisions. Ask ex Barca president Bathomew what happens if you allow yourself to be carried away by pressure and the media plus fans. Give this man damn respect.
Sir in sports U R as good as your last season!
