Ahead of the summer transfer window, Milliyet has reported today that Galatasaray is reportedly interested in Manchester United defender Raphael Varane.
When his contract ends in June, the France international may not stay at Old Trafford since, according to recent sources, the club will not initiate the activation cause to retain him in Manchester for an additional season.
Galatasaray has Varane as a possibility as they search for a potential Davinson Sánchez successor, according Milliyet. Due to the Colombian international’s impressive first season at Gala, there have been rumours of him perhaps moving to Newcastle United or teams in Serie A.
The Super Lig team has since focused on Varane, and Milliyet claims that signing the central defender would need a “huge operation.” A €40 million plus deal, according to Milliyet, may help Galatasaray get the Manchester United player. This might be paid for by permanent departures like Nicolo Zaniolo and Wilfried Zaha this summer.
Varane left Real Madrid to join Manchester United in 2021, but injuries have plagued him throughout his stay in England. With only 21 Premier League appearances this season, it seems the Premier League club may have had enough of the Frenchman.
It is evident that Turkey is excited about the prospect of having a player like that in the Super Lig.
