Raphael Varane offered ‘mad’ Man Utd exit opportunity as shock club launches audacious move

Raphael Varane will be offered the chance to reject MLS and Saudi offers when leaving Manchester United and could link up with Mexican side Club Tigres, according to sensational reports.

Varane ended his 10-year spell at Real Madrid in August 2021 by joining Man Utd for £41million. After winning four Champions Leagues at Madrid, the centre-back has gone on to play 93 times for Man Utd, helping the Red Devils lift one League Cup and reach two FA Cup finals.

Varane has been a great performer for Man Utd when fit, but often he has not been available for selection. This season alone he has missed 15 games for Erik ten Hag’s side either through injury or illness.

Man Utd had the option to extend Varane’s contract, with his current deal due to expire on June 30, but they opted against doing so. The club’s new INEOS directors would rather bring in a younger, more reliable centre-back, with Jarrad Branthwaite and Antonio Silva both targets.

Raphael Varane: Shock suitor emerges in big twist

Varane has been tipped to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, while LA Galaxy and Los Angeles FC are both interested in taking him to MLS.

Plus, Tigres do not have many – if any – players that Varane will have heard of. Al-Nassr, meanwhile, can boast having Ronaldo as their captain, as well as being able to use other big-name stars such as Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte.

Varane moving to Liga MX cannot be completely ruled out though, as stranger things have happened in the transfer market before.
