The French foreigner made his Premier League debut on Sunday for the first time since September.
It went well as Varane was Manchester United’s standout performer as they held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw against the odds.
A four-time Champions League winner can’t be content with that, especially since United haven’t exactly uprooted the trees.
Where will the Frenchman play football in February?Let’s take a look at the options.
With Lisando Martinez still sidelined and Harry Maguire now injured too, Varane could get a run in the XI over the coming weeks.
It will be difficult for Erik ten Hag to disappoint him if he continues to perform at the point he reached against Liverpool.
It is also said that the superiors of Ten Hag, an organization that will soon come with Jim Ratcliffe, are reluctant to lose Varane.
He is still a top-level center back and also has great winning experience acquired at Real Madrid.
At 30 years of age, Varane has not climbed the hill either. At least for now, a January exit is unlikely.
The only thing that can force Man Utd’s decision is a significant offer from abroad. If any of them arrive, they will most likely come from Saudi Arabia’s Pro League, which has a 7/2 chance of attracting Varane to the Middle East.
The country invests huge sums of money in football and Varane would be guaranteed a good salary if he moved.
But with Euro 2024 on the horizon, it remains to be seen whether the defender is in a position to say goodbye to Europe at just 30 years old.
Bayern Munich haven’t done everything their own way this season.
It is true that the German champions qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League without any problems, ahead of Manchester United.
But lately they are trailing Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and Xabi Alonso’s side are looking more and more like the real deal.
Thomas Tuchel wasn’t entirely happy with Bayern’s transfer deals this summer, so we can expect the Bavarians to pull out the chequebook next month.
Juventus are tied with Bayern Munich and Saudi Arabia in the market at 7/2.
After a difficult season last time out, Max Allegri’s men are locked in what looks like a two-way race for the Serie A title with Inter.
Allegri as a coach and Juventus as a club have both experiences, especially in defence.
Italian media have reported that Juventus are following the situation, but it is unclear that at this level they have enough cash to meet United’s demands.
Varane won everything to conquer his immense fortune at Real Madrid.
Given Manchester United’s struggles over the past 18 months, it would be necessary to know if the 30-year-old regrets swapping the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for Old Trafford.
And if Italy turns out to be the defender’s next destination, it will be Inter (40/1).
