what's the actual feeling among Madrid fans, he going or staying?
I think the feeling is that he is leaving. Apparently Ancelotti is going to talk to him but I don't think he will convince him. He seems determined to try something new
 
I refuse to believe that Fjørtoft has any sort of inside knowledge on a deal between United and Real over a French player.
 
Tweet deleted. What did it say?
A "report" from Gazzetta dello Sport stating that Real Madrid agreed a fee for Varane from Manchester United (55 million Euros + bonuses). I really wouldn't take it seriously even if it's real.
 
12 mill is really good value for a playerof his quality. See the usual trolls are sick that we aren't paying some stupid level wages so have resolved to make stuff up, boring and predictable.

He's going.

I think he would be getting around 12 million at Manchester United, Madrid are probably offering 8 million maximum.
 
Sorry, gross, yeah.

For me £200k is great, £300k is ok. But if he's on £400k a week he better be Maldini!
My calculation was wrong because I used 48 weeks instead of 52. Check a few posts after that and you'd see. It's about £300k - £350k I think.
 
@Damien every time a tweet from Jan feckroft is posted it’s met with a barrage of “why isn’t he banned” posts. Maybe time to add him to the list?
 
I really dont belive this transfer. Not one bit.
That would make this transfer window great.

We havent had a great transfer window since Ed went crazy buying all those stars. (Which eventualy become a bad window since none of them met what we expected)

With this guy, it’s possible.

My math says differently.

Someone said here the highest income tax rate in UK is 45 %

According to reports it's €12m annually, I've seen no source say it's net or gross but imo it's net since Madrid offered him €7m net and he refused. €12m gross with a 45 % tax is €6.6m net.

£1 = €1.17

So his weekly salary is:

12000000/0.55/48/1.17 = £388500

That usually doesn't include match bonuses.
Why are you converting the Euros figure into pounds at the end?
 
I’m more afraid we are being Schweinsteigered. Quite a few Real Madrid-fans seems quite happy they are selling him.
They binned decent players in their prime over the years - Sneijder and Robben spring to mind.
 
Aye but this is a fanbase that booed Ronaldo at one point.

True. But he has looked shaky and error prone at times. Also worry when people say he needs a new challenge and that he lacks motivation. A talented but complacent french player sounds familiar.
 
While I might not put all my money on it, I was impressed with Varane in the Euro. He wasn't perfect, but he reminds me of Rio: smooth on the ball, anticipates well, gets to the ball and intercepts passes, tracks back quickly. I think that Varane could be a difference-maker, similar to Van Dyk and Dias the last couple years at Liverpool and City. If we sign him, and now we have Sancho and maybe Camavinga arriving, I will be excited for the new season to get started.

If this goes through Im putting money on us to win the league. All the money!
 
Varane's had shaky moments and been error prone for a very long time though, he's not this flawless defender, I don't personally think he ever has been. He's still miles ahead of Lindelof and Bailly though, and has the experience that means he's a bargain for the rumoured price. Put him next to Maguire and he'll be grand.
