REAL READY MEGA MANE SWAP DEAL

Real Madrid will offer defender Raphael Varane in a bid to tempt Liverpool into parting with Sadio Mane this summer, according to a sensational report.

Recent rumours have suggested that Varane is contemplating his future at the Bernabeu, and he could push for an exit at the end of the season.

Having won 14 major honours at the heart of the Real Madrid defence, Varane apparently feels that now may be the time take up a fresh challenge.

Now, reports in the Spanish media (as per The Guardian) suggest that Real have rekindled their interest in Mane with Zinedine Zidane’s return to the club as manager.

They view the Senegal international as a ‘cheaper option’ than Chelsea star Eden Hazard or Spurs playmaker Christian Eriksen.

In order to ‘smooth over the transaction’, Los Blancos are willing to offer up Varane, but since current contract expires in 2022 Real are likely to hold a valuation of over £85million.
