Varane has already received a renewal offer from the Club, but for the moment he has not made a statement. The renewal or not of Raphael Varane will be one of the star topics of the summer in the Real Madrid market.

The club has already offered the French international center-back but has not received any response from the player or his agent.

Time is running against Madrid’s desire to continue counting on Rafa, a particular player, with concerns that go beyond those that usually motivate most soccer professionals.

The imminent European Championship will once again spotlight a player who has won everything with Madrid at 28 years of age and has suggestive proposals from Manchester United and PSG.

These two clubs can pay him a fee on a par with a four-time European champion at club level and the world champion with his national team.

Offering to match

That cache has also been taken into account in the offer presented a month ago by Madrid, which wants to exhaust its options to renew a player who is free in June 2022 and that, therefore, if not renewed, would be free to negotiate with other clubs from January next year.

Varane currently earns around €5.5 million net per season, a figure that would improve Real Madrid’s proposal despite the delicate economic situation resulting from the pandemic.

But the reality is that both United and PSG can offer him higher contracts if the Frenchman does not situs judi slot terbaru 2022 renew and arrives free to either of those two clubs.

The same factor that Madrid has exploited in the case of David Alaba and Bayern.

Other concerns

But in Varane’s case, not everything is a question of money, or at least not only. The Frenchman is a footballer different from most of his colleagues, with concerns beyond the strictly economic.

In this sense, the possibility of trying other countries, other cultures, and other ways of understanding soccer also weighs in the balance of the Frenchman.

He arrived in Madrid when he was only 18 years old, so he developed his entire career in the elite in the white club, combining it with the France senior national team since 2013.

The reality is that Madrid knows of his desire to try new adventures. However, it does not renounce to keep him in its ranks to preserve the defensive strength of an axis that, indeed, will soon lose Sergio Ramos, authentic leader of the white defense, for many years.

The player is in no hurry

For the moment, Varane is taking it easy and focusing on the European Championships.

He will be the undisputed starter in the center of the defense of the reigning world champions. Today, only Nacho and Militao have the label fixed in the center back position.

Even the possibility that some club will try to seduce the player and Madrid with an offer this summer.

The departure of Varane, together with the almost certain release of Ramos, would force the club to make a move in the center-back market, as the alternatives of Vallejo and even Chust do not seem sufficient to cover all the team’s needs.

El factor Ancelotti

The final factor in the equation is the return to Real Madrid of Carlo Ancelotti, whose opinion may also have a bearing on the outcome of this matter.

It should be remembered that Varane gave the final blow to Pepe in Carletto’s second season on the Bernabeu bench.

In the Italian’s first season, he only played 23 games, a figure that doubled (46) in the 14-15 season; in fact, that figure marks the top of his performance as a Madrid player in a season. Last season, he played 41 games.
