Reports from Mexico have linked Varane with Tigres, with journalist David Medrano sparking the rumour by disclosing that the Mexican club will be signing a European center-back of French nationality.

The report confirmed that it ‘is a fact’ that Tigres are attempting to attract Varane as he prepares to leave Manchester United and with the 31-year-old leaving for free a deal could be a possibility.
