Man Utd target Varane delays transfer talk until after Euros

Man Utd target Raphael Varane has insisted that it is “not the time to talk about [his] future” as he is fully focused on the Euros.

The Real Madrid defender made the move to Spain in 2011 from French side Lens.

Varane has just finished his eleventh season with the Spanish giants. He has played over 350 times for them in that time.

The centre back has won La Liga three times and the Champions League four times with Madrid.

The Daily Mail reported last month that Man Utd are interested in the Frenchman. He has one year remaining on his contract and Madrid value him at around £60m.

Speaking on his future, Varane suggested that he is “focused on [his] goal” of helping France at the Euros:

“This is not the time to talk about my future. I am focused on the selection, on this Euro.

“It is normal and logical to ask the question and for my part, it is normal and logical to focus on the upcoming deadlines.

“We are all human beings. We can think about it. As for my personal case, I am focused on the objectives that we have in the France team, it is not a subject that I will discuss every day in my room at Clairefontaine.

“I am focused on my goal, and now is not the time to discuss it. If I have to talk about it, it will be directly with the people concerned.”

Varane also said that it is “strange” to see Zinedine Zidane leave Real Madrid:

He added: “My first reaction [to Zidane’s departure] is that I feel proud for the last ten years. He took me from Lens to Real Madrid and I have learned a lot alongside him.

“He is a coach that has a human side. He is a source of inspiration, not only for me but for many players who have met him.

“Seeing him leave is strange for me and for an entire generation of players at Real Madrid.

“It has been a pleasure to work with him, and it would be nice for it to happen again in the future. He is a great coach and a great human being.”
