Or just some good noises to test Real’s resolve.
The question isn’t “how much do United want to pay to have Varane for 4/5 seasons?” but “how much are Madrid prepared to turn down to have Varane for one more year?”
I’d bet that the latter is a lot less than the former.
Nope, personal terms aren't agreed yet, but United are confident about getting them agreed with Varane (i.e. they'd be happy to offer what Varane's camp wants for the most part). They're in contact with Real Madrid again to try and commence negotiations.
The MEN article stems from a Marca report that states that, if Varane agrees personal terms with United and the clubs can't agree on a deal, then the player himself will be happy to wait until he becomes a free agent rather than, say, pick another club.
I think Varane has told Utd he won't renew
This is actually happening, with Varane being a top five in the world centre back and Maguire being arguably the best centre back in the Euro’s I can honestly say I’m fecking buzzing.
Their styles and attributes genuinely fit with each other perfectly, I think we’re a pure out and out defensive midfielder away from having a genuinely strong starting eleven that could beat absolutely anyone on our day.
Hold me
That’s exactly the message somebody would want to get out if he was using somebody for a new contract!
amirite @Pexbo
Certainly sounds like that to me and all the other pessimists.
you'd think we'd be cautious enough during this whole process that we have a pretty good grasp on whether we're used for contract talks or not. Maybe I'm naive, but given that it seems to progress nicely, I like to think that his interest in joining is genuine.
Guys, I have had a completely original thought so bear with me. Spanish giants Real Madrid once had a centre back named Sergey something or other that re-signed with them after being linked with us. Now another CBs is linked to us.. Coincidence?
Done ligament damage today. What sort of voodoo is this.
To be fair he played basically every game last season apart from missing a couple due to covid.
There's only one red dot in the tweet.
I don't know guys... I read a tweet 12 seconds ago saying that Varane is "using United to get a better contract" ... it was pretty compelling. On the flipside it said we're switching focus to Mbappe though ...

My thoughts too, get it done Gill.
Are you unfamiliar with how Fabrizio Romano works? Regurgitated ‘news’ to keep followers and re-tweets.
Done dealio.

But....Ramos?
This smacks of Varane using Utd's name to get a new contract from Real to be honest.
Every time Ramos wanted a new deal the Utd rumours would come out.

Weren't you adamant it was done about 2 days back?
He was being sarcastic but then wasn’t apparently, he’s very clever like that, keeps you guessing.
I reckon this is done.
Why?
Lot of red flags in that
The only abysmal thing here is your posting! Wow, so pleased Ole is the manager not you.Is anybody flight tracking him back off holiday?
You realize he has been a top top defender for years winning major trophies. No idea why you think he is not top tier
Take away his penalties and Bruno scored 7 goals in 35 appearances since January. While playing a free role. While putting in frustrating/erratic performances at best, and yes, abysmal performances at worst. Not good enough for where we need to be to get back on top if we're honest.
Thank you very much.

He struggled late on in the year but this is what I’m talking about these Newbie WUM’s. Tiresome.
Why would you take away his penalties, are they not also goals? And I would argue Bruno has one of the most defined roles in our team.
RE: Varane would be perfect, and a real statement of intent. We suddenly look a lot better on paper and his routine and his experience in winning trophies is definitively have a huge impact on our relatively "young and inexperienced (at least in a European context)" back-line.
Missing the assists stat in there aren't you. Clearly football is not the sport for you if the above is your honest opinion, maybe something along the lines of solitaire so you can just go and play with yourself.
If he can improve his form and play a more disciplined role, then I am very happy to have him on the team. But I think it's important to acknowledge his struggles over the past 6 months or so. A lot of United fans pretend he's flawless.
High risk high reward the United way!!!!!!
Why are we talking about Bruno in the Varane transfer thread?
My body literally violently convulsed when I read this. Like this is why it’s exhausting arguing with people who hate Ole and his system: their arguments just aren’t rational
Bruno what time it is.
Agreed, Madrid will announce his new contract any minute.
Just because you say this every day doesn’t make it true. Have some faith, it’s the summer transfer window, anything is possible!
