Raphael Varane on the Move as Saudi Pro League Ready a Mega-Deal to Reunite the World Cup Winner with Cristiano Ronaldo
Raphael Varane’s contract expires in the summer, making him an attractive prospect for several clubs and leagues worldwide. The Saudi Pro League, with its ambitious spending spree, is at the front of the queue for the services of the World Cup winner.
The Daily Star reports that the Frenchman is not loving his life and status at Manchester United. His disillusionment with Erik Ten Hag’s side means he will likely move on after his contract expires in the summer.
The most likely destination for Varane is Al-Nassr, the Saudi Pro League side, who are currently leading the race to land the signature of the former Real Madrid center-back in the summer.
Al-Nassr are reportedly willing to offer a mouthwatering deal worth $62.7 million per year to tempt him to the Middle East.
A decision to move to the Saudi Pro League will see Varane reunited with his former teammate at Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo. The pair won four Champions League titles together at Los Blancos before they reunited at Manchester United.
The 30-year-old is still playing at a high level and is still young. If a move to Al-Nassr materializes, he will offer significant service to the club and the Saudi Pro League.
