Rumoured Raphael Varane

[Tomo 21,751]

You're right. Planning life after Terry, Iva & Cahill has to begin now and players like Zouma, Kalas & Aké are already available to begin their intergration/training into making that step up. But when you're spending a sum of, I'd imagine to be, £20-30m on an u23 year old when we have Zouma, Kalas & Aké it sends the wrong messsage entirely and these youth players will engineer moves away.

Rightly or wrongly that's the nature of the beast at the top level. If Messi became avalible in 2008 (when he was 21) and made it clear he wanted to leave Barca and only had eyes for Chelsea should the club have said no thankyou we have Kakuta and Stoch?

If Madrid are stupid enough to let this lad go, and we can afford him, then we should sign now and ask questions later.

Well as much as I think it will be difficult to sign Varane, one thing that's for sure though, we're clearly on top in his list if he ever want to leave from RM, as long as Jose still in charge.

Chelsea handed major transfer boost after Real Madrid prodigy hints at Bernabeu irritation

"Many inferring that Varane is unhappy with his current deal - and wants a significant boost in his £25,000 a week wages."

Varane gets only £25k a week at Real Madrid? That's pretty fucked up when we think about how much all the other first teamers are earning.

Anyway, think he'll get a new contract soon enough and our name is just being used as a leverage to get as much money as possible. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Pogba and Varane, and this could be our most successful transfer window, ever.

I don't believe it, but who knows.

Wise words hope the board will hear

£25k a week for Varane is a criminal

When he signed that contract he was an 18 year old and was a 4th choice CB at the club. He signed a 6 year contract, Real are not going to renew until next season at the very least.

Pepe is 31 years old and Varane has the potential to become one of the greatest defenders of all time. You guys are absolutely nuts if you actually believe Real Madrid is going to let him go.

Would it be asking too much if we requested Cavani as well?

[Mechromancer 262]

And Isco.

And Isco.

Now you pushing it

Would love him at the club, but everyone knows he's simply getting a new contract at Real
