What is his new job?
We have known about for a long time but Bayern have been committed on a younger player, also it's not a given that Varane would want to move to Germany. Liverpool are a nothing club.
I’m not sure just another role within journalism I think, political news maybe? He posted about it a few days ago.
Come whatever may
For sure, but from what I can see, other clubs will need to let go of/lose their first-team defenders. At the moment, I don't see any indications of that, but as you said, things can change.
Only clubs like PSG, Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea can afford the salary he is looking for. PSG and Man city have no opening for another CB. Chelsea is looking for wing back.
He is moving to France Télévision and specifically join the talk show C à Vous where he will talk about the news and also sport.
Bouhafsi has spoken with things we like to hear. I’ve got my right hand on my zipper 
There are few things that underwhelm me more than reports about "Negotiations on contract with player". We all know that the contract is never, ever a problem. What I want to know is when the hell is the club going to make an offer.
Wages as well.
It can be if a player's not necessarily fully committed to United, which was the case with Varane until now and currently is with Camavinga.
They won’t make an offer unless the player is satisfied with his pay. Otherwise, what’s the point? You can also safely say RM have given the green light to negotiate with player which means they’re selling.
I love the fact we got Sancho, but the prospect of securing Varane excites me even more to be honest. There's just this feeling that he'd be a real difference maker for us.
Having an actual defence will be so beneficial for us. Conceding soft shit goals is absolutely infuriating.
Harry Pinero is really pushing this haha
Hope he was part of the Jadon announcement
It more about the club than him
On its time to bring in thread title updates
You know United despite being scrubs for nearly a decade is still one of the biggest clubs in the world, right?
and this isn't necessarily about Ole, is just...it's always funny to see people attributing signings to whoever's the manager at the time (not just with United), when more often than not the clubs have damn near all pull in the world regardless of who's the manager.
Heating up now......will be an incredible signing.
sancho, varane and a DM and we’re winning the league.

Well I believe it's a combination of both. It's still Ole that will speak to him and talk about his plan - the plan that has improved United a bit more post SAF.
Most reliable ITK in France
PSG have other matters to deal with and I don't know how they'd fit him into the lineup when they already have Marquinhos, Ramos and Kimpembe in the same position...
He also seemingly wants to play in England having already played in Ligue 1 when he was younger
Is this really going to happen? What is going on with us and good Business.
it is mostly because of wages. Money talks
Is it really that funny?
Ofcourse United are a big club - but this big club has been at times at 6th or 8th; do you really think Varane wants to join that because United are some historic club? I really doubt it - Ole has pushed us back up again to 2nd in the league last season with a clear feeling of addressing our weaknesses and trying to achieve our goals. I can see why Varane may join us now both due to our amazing history as a club and what he can see in the future that will be set up by Ole.
He won everything already. Challenge for title i doubt it is very appealing to him.
I don't disagree, but I doubt any elite players are actually clamoring to play under Solskjaer as he hasn't developed any kind of strong reputation in Europe or England at that. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does this season after what we expect to be our best transfer window in years
It’s soooooo…

Sounds to me like we have very nearly managed to buckle Varane.
Big buckling today.
I guess we end up on £45m
Exactly.
There's always one saga each summer that seems to go back and forwards and you know is never happening.
Various drones getting excited at the meaningless "terms agreed with the player" nonsense.
I think Woodward should give a speach before leaving the club and walk off to the tune of Everyday I'm bucklin'.
A backline of Shaw - Maguire - Varane - AWB is almost literally perfection.
We still need a DM, but it should hopefully mean we can play a much higher line than before, which should help condense the pitch and make it easier for the midfielders to connect with the attack. And that's not forgetting the dual threat of overloads into midfield from either Varane and Maguire. It should give opponents something else to think about...

Liverpool and Bayern long signed cb's Konate and Upamecano. I thinks everyone has forgotten that. He doesn't seem to want to go to psg.
Ramos also wanted to go to PSG, something that Varane by most accounts isn't interested in.
Like you mentioned, those other 2 were confirmed just about before or immediately after the season ended, before the possibility of Varane leaving even started being reported on.
Legend
No one are interested to sign a CB except us, PSG, Spurs and Arsenal. All the report already said Varane is not interested to join PSG and that's why PSG switched their target to Ramos, Varane favours United more. While both Spurs and Arsenal are not in delusional that they can sign Varane's calibre of player. This is what all those reports mean by ''new challenge''. Proper footballer.
