Manchester United has been connected with a move for Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane and they have now taken another action to sign him.
As per Manchester Evening News, United has offered a £50 million deal for the French defender, yet Madrid needs £80m. Manchester United is trying to act quickly to get their target.
The Premier League club stays in talks with Madrid and desires to seal the deal soon. The French defender is capped 76 times for France and played over 230 times for Real Madrid. He will be a free agent next year, and the £80m asking price seems too high.
He is yet to sign another contract with the Spanish outfit, and Madrid has accepted to let him leave if the right deal comes through.

Could Raphael Varane transform Manchester United’s defense?
Manchester United needs to acquire a top-class center-back to partner Harry Maguire in the core of the defense. If United wants to challenge for the Premier League trophy then they have to stabilize their defense first.
Varane is without a doubt one of the best defenders on the planet and could transform United. he has been spectacular for France as well and his performance against Croatia proves that.
Ruben Dias had a great effect on Manchester City as he helped them win the PL trophy and also enter the UCL finals. Varane could have a similar effect at Manchester United.
The deal still seems to be far away as Real Madrid is still not impressed by the bid that has been placed.
