In addition, there have recently been rumors of an unexpected option that would allow Real Madrid and Manchester United to swap players in case negotiations with Raiola prove unsuccessful.

To invite the top сentre-back, the English Premier League club is considering the inclusion of 28-year-old Paul Pogba in the deal. The Frenchman himself is very interested in a move, especially taking into account the situation at the beginning of the 2020/2021 season, where it seemed that the player would leave the club already in the winter due to frustrating performances.

Back then, the player’s agent was saying that it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United.

In turn, Real Madrid need to refresh their midfield, as the key players are already quite aged. Nevertheless, the exchange of Varane is not part of the club`s plans, the Los Blancos will firstly consider offers from other interested parties to earn the money for the sale as they plan to buy Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe.
