Could sir Ed002 possibly clear up the Varane rumours . Is it likely that Real Madrid would be willing to sell him and how likely is United to be his destination this summer? Thank you in advance Ed, also hope you've been having a good summer 👍🏽.

{Ed002's Note - Raphael Varane (CB) If he does not sign a renewal he will be sold in the summer - possibly leaving Real Madrid needing to add three CBs. Manchester United have a preferred target but are tempted but have not agreed a price with the club - so there is a chance if they don't screw around with the money. Mr Mourinho was looking for a way to sign Varane for Spurs in the summer but he will now be off the list for them. He is also on the list of CB options the Chelsea coach has identified but the wages will likely put them off. He may yet sign a new deal if he thinks the club are moving in the right direction with ZZ gone. The player wants a new challenge and PSG may push for him in their quest for a leading French player to join to keep the fans appeased - but the management have signed Ramos and Varane does not fit the profile of what they are now looking for.}

{Ed002's Note - Done to death. Pau Torres.}
