Raphael Varane might soon find a new home. The Frenchman has fallen out of favor with Erik ten Hag, and currently, their relationship has deteriorated and is in a pathetic condition. Things worsened when the boss benched him for the Manchester derby in October. This ended up with ten Hag and the center-back having a heated argument. These clashes have now increased the chances of him moving out of the club, and interestingly, some European Giants are targeting him.

Even after having unmatchable defensive prowess, things got much worse for him as he was only allowed to appear as a substitute three times. However, Varane has nothing to worry as he has plenty of options before him.

As per the latest reports, Bayern Munich is looking forward to having Varane on their team. They want to sign the Frenchman in a $31,350,000 deal in January. However, it is unlikely that the Germans could afford his $426,360-a-week wages. If they overcome this issue, the Frenchman will soon become part of Bayern Munich.

Interestingly, United have talked about finding new players for the team. However, going after Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo might not be that easy because of the owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Soon he will also be the co-owner of Manchester United, and this may end up creating a dispute.

Regarding this, the boss said, “Maguire took his chance when Varane was absent. When the moment is there, you take it and the other has to fight back.” At the moment, numerous changes may take place in United’s operations as INEOS’ CEO Ratcliffe takes over the club. It is expected that he would make a final decision on what to do with the Frenchman and Casemiro. Do you think that Varane will move to Bayern Munich?

Like many, my journey into the beautiful game began by watching the mesmerizing Lionel Messi, as his impeccable vision on the pitch and role as a playmaker, meticulously calculating the path to goal always amazed me. This fascination with the finer details of soccer strategy naturally extended to my interest in content strategy. However, my zeal for being a soccer content analyst is not only because of Messi's magic, as I am a keen follower of the Becks as well.
