I'm quite surprised by the lack of English reports on this. There only seems to be Luckhurst mentioning it? Now, I'm not saying it's a red flag or anything and I trust the moon system with all of my being, as anyone should. I'm just pointing it out.
Raphael Varane | Signed for United!

It is a little bit too flaggy.
Exactly what I said yesterday. My hope is that we are so nervous about being played that we aren't briefing freely like Sancho. I'd imagine we get a BBC update when a bid goes in.
I think this is the big reason most likely. We don't want to be all Woody big balls over it due to past events, so cautious approach and we'll probably have more briefs once the fee is agreed.
Sky, Luckhurst and almost all the daily rags have reported it. Romano reporting it along with a ton of Spanish journalists is enough for me.
How would Decker know that - it's perfectly possible for United to sign 5 players for £200 million - if they divide the payments into 4-5 seasons, but it may of course affect our spendings the next few season - but I still believe it's the right thing to do. This is the window where we can make clever deals - next summer it will be much easier to sell players
Simon Stone said this on 13th: In addition, the Old Trafford club have spoken with the representatives of Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane as they look to bolster their defensive options .
Maybe the club hasn't given them any update since then as all the action is taking place in Spain between Varane and Real Madrid.
Multiple tweets yesterday morning suggesting there would be an agreed-upon fee within a few hours. Then silence.
Hmmm, Flaggy.
Very flaggy indeed.
What's the most recent update on the Varane situation given by a reliable source?
Trying not to get too invested in this transfer as I really want this to happen but do not want to be let down majorly at the same time

Then tweets followed saying we need to up our offer 'o Varane no se va a United'.
I missed those ones.
Makes you wonder why we bother posting tweets at all when the majority turn out to be nonsense.

All of the info available suggests this is just a matter of time. Sticking point at the moment seems to be how much we pay Real.

I think the most reliable takeaway is that it's a matter of time.
Because it’s a transfer forum and it would be a lot more boring without tweets?

Jamaican delegates have come, and gone. Whether a deal was done, that part we will find out this week.What's the most recent update on the Varane situation given by a reliable source?

Is he any good?
He's the top delegate in Jamaica.
He's not very discreet though
Isn't that basically every transfer ever? Until that bit gets agreed the rest is irrelevant, and nobody seems to know whether it will be agreed.
What’s all this red flag stuff about?
No? Real need the money and by all accounts Varane wants to come to United. That’s not every transfer saga ever, and while no one knows for sure yet (not even the clubs as nothing is signed) it makes the transfer a lot more likely.
Moons
And the connection to Varane?
Thanks! I do hope it's just a matter of time and the only issue being the payment to Real as I'm sure we will eventually come to an agreement which is suitable for both clubs. I assume this will be more around the £50m mark as we are apparently offering less.
What's the red flag on the moon part about? :P
You're doing what I'm doing

Haha!
I've just seen too many let downs in recent years, most recently Sancho just last summer to get carried away!
Getting Varane is equally as huge as Sancho imo and would be over the moon if he does come!
Torres’ transfer thread got locked because we discussed his performance. Odd decision considering this giggling pyjamas party goes on and on.
Red flags = People worried he's 'doing a Ramos'
Moons = One of the Madrid aggregator accounts uses Moon emoji's to show reliability of sources
Jamaican delegates = Not a clue
Update hot of the press from the massively reliable Daily & Sunday Express Online,
'Utd deal for Varane may collapse in new Real Madrid Twist'
That means its definitely not happening now, these guys are connected and never get anything wrong....................

You didn't have to post it, but thanks anyway.
It seems obvious when you think about it - a Jamaican guy lost his v-card on the moon and planted a flag (presumably a red one?) to commemorate the occasion. Because you totally would, wouldn't you?
Not as much happening this morning as I expected, there is rumours they want Dalot, if we want to keep the price low, give them him,
Yes, I read yesterday that Ancelotti loves Dalot for some strange, unknown reason.
This one is from the Ravel thread.
If I'm not mistaken, there was moment of silent as well for few days before Sancho's signing confirmation.
No tweet before noon, this is off. Flag raised down.
oh so it's a crossover? we have our own MCU in the making here.
