The central defender wants to go but Zidane and the club don't want to let that happen and are willing to rise his salary with PSG and United paying attention, according to AS.
Raphael Varane is seriously thinking about leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season as L'Equipe reported originally and As confirmed. Zidane, however, does not want that to happen as he was the one who recommended the player in 2011 and the club are trying to make sure it won't happen.
Madrid want to convince him with a new deal. He is currently being paid €6 million and that could increase to €9 million, making him one of the highest paid player in the squad. They had planned to renew him in 2020 with his last extension coming in 2017. That new contract increased his release clause to €500 million and ran until 2022.
They are willing to move that extension forward with the defender thinking he has moved up a level with four Champions League, a World Cup, four World Cups, two leagues and various other trophies.
If Real Madrid can't convince Varane?
While Real Madrid start to work towards a new deal, PSG are paying close attention. The Real Madrid player is considered a priority for the French side as they look for a Thiago Silva replacement. Juventus, Bayern and Manchester United are also keeping an eye out.
They do have a Plan B if their contract renewal does not work with Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly on their radar. Another favourite of Perez is Jose Gimenez, who has a €105 million release clause and knows of Madrid's interest.

Varane wants to go because of new challenges and i see nothing bad in that if he wants he can stay and become a legend but i think it will be better for him to accept new test also he will always be remembered as a Madrid player.

If actually he wants new challenge elsewhere €9m will not change his plan i guess, more over, Utd can offer him close to €12m , needless trying to keep a player who has made up his mind to leave , because he will always lack concentration and commitment to games , so it's better Madrid look for alternative and worthy replacement. Practically he has won everything there to be won , and now its about new environment and new challenge. Good luck Varane .

They should try their best to convince him because if he leaves the club their defense is going to be in trouble and varane can only strengthen the defence in Madrid, they should increase his pay rise and let varane make his decision whether we wants to leave Madrid or not because they are big clubs who wants to sign him this summer, good luck Varane.
