Manchester United would get rid of Raphael Varane this month if one of his fans submitted £26 million, according to a report tonight.
German website Fussball. news also suggests that Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr and Saudi Arabian rivals Al-Ittihad are a gamble on the centre-back.
Varane, 30, ends his contract this summer, and Bayern Munich is interested.

EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United are facing a nightmare as they take on Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, writes ALAN NIXON.
Ineos boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe, 71, will take over football operations at Old Trafford after buying 25% of the club for £1. 03 billion.
And the new regime needs to reach an agreement for Casemiro to reduce the Red Devils’ wage bill.
But the obstacle is that Casemiro, who joined United from Real Madrid for £60m in August 2022, earns £350,000 a week and has two and a half years left on his contract.
In total, the 31-year-old — who is back in training after being sidelined since the start of November because of a hamstring injury — would be owed around £30m.
Ratcliffe and his Ineos team, which includes his right-hand man Sir Dave Brailsford, discovered that there are many additional prices on the team they are about to inherit from the Glazers.
And that will likely mean there will be little business in the January window as they analyze the team.

Manchester United have been asked to be cheeky with Karim Benzema.
Ex-Red Devils’ striker Louis Saha teased the idea of an audacious move for the French legend, 36, who only left Real Madrid for Saudi club Al-Ittihad last summer.
It’s a far-fetched possibility but would be a way of countering United’s financial restraints in the current transfer window.
Saha told AS: “Benzema would change United’s attack, and that’s exactly what they need now. He would definitely score goals and also ensure better team play. For now it is just a dream, but Karim is still very professional.”
United reportedly tried to sign Benzema before he joined Real in 2009.
Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra is being linked with Manchester United.

Newcastle have the local bragging rights after winning the Tyne-Wear FA Cup clash – and they could have even more if ex-Sunderland boy Henderson joins them.
Chelsea have splashed the cash – more than £1billion to be precise – since Todd Boehly took over at Stamford Bridge in 2022.
And yet, despite the numerous arrivals of Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Lesley Ugochukwu, an experienced boss in the middle of the park can be a sensible addition.
Henderson was in Liverpool’s Brendan Rodgers tenure as Kop’s boss from 2012 to 2015.

Manchester United dressing room ‘divided’ by Erik ten Hag
According to reports, the Man Utd dressing room is split between Erik ten Hag.
A number of players have reportedly “lost confidence” in the Dutch home this season.
Ten Hag is ratcheting up the pressure at Old Trafford after a disappointing December in which the club was knocked out of Europe.
United were also beaten five times a month for the first time since 1933, to finish the year nine times away from home, the top four.
The Athletic reports that, according to club sources, many players have lost their religion in Ten Hag.

Former Man Utd striker Dimitar Berbatov has claimed that the Red Devils will sign a striker this month or in the summer.
He told Betfair: “Man United will sign a striker, if not in January, then this summer. Martial will go. Rashford and Hojlund are there and Garnacho is very young, so the prospect is there as well. The young players will be there. ” I need to keep impressing.
“United will buy a striker – but who will that be? I don’t know. It’s always good to have competition for places, it’s healthy.
“On the other hand, it can be bad to play with the right players, because it can cause disorders in the locker room. You have to be careful with the attacker you approach.
“You need a smart team, a team where everyone supports each other, even if you’re not playing. United will pick a striker to turn things around a bit and tell other players like Rashford, Hojlund and Garnacho to move on. Otherwise, other players will wait to take their place. “
Speaking to Betfair, Berbatov added: “We can only speculate from the outside as to why it didn’t work, we don’t know what the real story is from the inside. But it’s not just Sancho, other wonderful players are joining the team. “The Premier League also struggled.
“Sancho, even when he played for United, rarely showed the point he showed in Dortmund.
“After the incident with Ten Hag and after Sancho’s comments in the media, I never liked the noise around me; It has been kept private.
“Sometimes when you don’t play well, you’re on the bench and then you get angry, you can take it out on your teammates, yourself, or your manager, it’s a chain reaction.
“It’s a shame because he played so many wonderful games for Dortmund and he completely deserved to move to a bigger club at the time. But that’s how football works: it goes the wrong way and everyone is disappointed, angry and bitter. . Get off to a good start and the most productive thing to do is to go your separate ways. “
Manchester United icon Dimitar Berbatov says Jadon Sancho’s experience at Old Trafford will leave him “hurt”.
He told Betfair: “Jadon Sancho’s time at Man United has been a huge disappointment. It didn’t work at all. There were high expectations about his performance and everything that was there to make it work, but it didn’t work. “
“If it comes to an end, it’s a good thing for him to go to Dortmund because when a player is in a situation like this, he’s looking for something familiar to go back to so he can regroup and get his confidence back.
“The Dortmund move has probably been in the works for a long time because he’s obviously not going to play for United again under Ten Hag.
“The experience at Manchester United will leave him hurt, disappointed and angry. It depends how you see life and how you understand life – can you use this experience as a motivating factor so that one day you come back and prove everybody wrong?
“Or you say, ‘thank you very much, I was not appreciated enough, I will go to Germany and perform there’.
“So Sancho has two paths to follow and let’s see which one he chooses. “
