Hi Ed, with so much media talk about Varane potentially moving, is there any interest from Chelsea? Seems odd that all the talk seems to be about United.

{Ed002's Note - Raphael Varane (CB) If he does not sign a renewal he will be sold in the summer - possibly leaving Real Madrid needing to add three CBs. Manchester United have a preferred target but could be tempted. Mr Mourinho was looking for a way to sign Varane for Spurs in the summer but he will now be off the list for them. He is also on the list of CB options the Chelsea coach has identified but the wages will likely put them off. He may yet sign a new deal if he thinks the club are moving in the right direction with ZZ gone. The player wants a new challenge and PSG may push for him in their quest for a leading French player to join to keep the fans appeased.

I have the feeling Varane will be staying in Madrid.

He may well end up at Utd Ashk but I have this feeling he will sign a new contract with RM.

What better way to get a massively improved contract than for Utd, PSG or us to be interested.

I know it’s me being a cynic.
