The ball is in Raphael Varane’s court if he wants to leave Real Madrid this summer, with Manchester United lurking.
Marca reports the France international, ruled out of Euro 2016 through injury, expected 2015-16 to be the season in which he established himself as first choice at Santiago Bernabeu, but that isn’t how the campaign transpired.
Instead, Varane found himself still third choice behind Sergio Ramos and Pepe and Madrid’s decision to offer Pepe a contract extension has contributed to doubts in Varane’s mind about his chances of becoming a regular for Los Blancos.
But it’s said that Madrid won’t consider negotiating his exit unless he begins to agitate for a move, and United are expected to be in contention as Jose Mourinho is the manager there, having been the Madrid Coach when Varane was brought to Spain.
