Raphael Varane ‘decides’ to move to Saudi Arabia, reportedly following potential of a reunion with former teammate Karim Benzema.

After slipping out of favor at Manchester United, Raphael Varane allegedly decided to consider a move to Saudi Arabia.

This seаsоn, the 30-yeаr-оld defender hаs hаd а tоugh time breаking intо the stаrting lineup аt оld Trаffоrd, mаking оnly five Premier Leаgue аppeаrаnces. Plаyers like Jоnny Evаns, Hаrry Mаguire, аnd Victоr Lindelоf hаve frequently been preferred оver him.

Because of this, rumors have begun to circulate that he may be considering a move away from the club. Reports have indicated that Real Madrid and Saudi Arabia are interested in signing him, and he might even replace the injured David Alaba.

He may play alongside Karim Benzema again if he moves to the Saudi Pro League from Los Blancos.

According to the French magazine L’Equipe, Varane’s entourage has denied rumors that he is considering a transfer to either Saudi Arabia or Qatar.

Prior to this, Varane stated that he will retire from the sport at either Real Madrid, Manchester United, or Lens, his former club.

Having maintained close relationships with former players and managers, as well as having his residence in Spain, the Frenchman has a profound emotional investment in the Spanish powerhouse.

Although the January transfer window is approaching, the club and player have not yet communicated regarding a possible transfer.

John Murtough, Manchester United’s football director, reportedly traveled to Saudi Arabia last week to explore possible transfers for a number of players, including Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, and Varane, according to Mail Sport.

United have forged some significant new contacts thanks to Murtough, and other discussions are in the works, but he reportedly left Saudi Arabia without settling any transactions.

Varane joined Real Madrid from United in the summer of 2021 and last season he forged a strong relationship with Lisandro Martinez.

United have had a terrible season, and Varane has not played much, therefore it is looking increasingly probable that he will leave the club by next summer, even if his contract at Old Trafford ends in 2025.

Supposedly, he is “aware of the difficulties” of the Red Devils’ three-game streak.
