In the most recent print edition, AS mentioned that Manchester United star Raphael Varane wants to return to Real Madrid in the upcoming January transfer window. It has been revealed that the French defender plans to return to Real Madrid this winter. The 30-year-old has struggled to prove his worth as a consistent player at Old Trafford this season. Raphael Varane has made just 14 appearances for the Red Devils this season, scoring one goal in all competitions.
The France international averages 06 times, 0 interceptions4 times, 3 clearances9 times, commendable. In the league, he has a pass completion rate of 909% (data from whoscored). His current contract at Manchester FC expires in 2025, which could make it difficult for Real Madrid to sign him for a cheap ** in this winter transfer window. Raphael Varane is a defensive defender who can take advantage of the challenge and get the ball back for his side at half-time. He doesn't hesitate to pass the ball with his feet when needed and is dominant in the air. Raphael Varane is even adept at breaking through from the back.
However, the Frenchman has been prone to injury lately and is currently struggling to maintain a high level of performance under Ten Hag this season. As such, Varane may wish to return to Real Madrid, where he has had a successful time before. He already knows La Liga well and doesn't need much time to settle into life in Madrid. Therefore, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti should consider going all out to bring Raphael Varane back to the Bernabeu as he could help his team win the La Liga title and possibly even challenge for the Champions League trophy this season.
