Barcelona have reportedly been presented with a golden opportunity to secure the services of experienced center-back Raphael Varane from Manchester United, according to TEAMtalk.
Sources indicate that the Premier League outfit has offered the former Real Madrid star in a cut-price deal worth €20 million.
The decision to offload the Frenchman stems from manager Erik ten Hag's exclusion of the defender from his future plans. Despite being a 2018 World Cup winner, Varane has faced a challenging period since joining the Red Devils in August 2021.
Recent reports highlight disagreements between the 30-year-old and the Dutch manager as the catalyst for the player's desire to seek a new challenge.
Xavi's side in need of defensive reinforcements, is actively considering the prospect of signing Varane in a cost-effective deal. This development adds an intriguing layer to the player's potential destinations, with previous speculations linking him to a return to Santago Bernabeu or a move to Bayern Munich.
Erik ten Hag's preference for a defensive partnership between Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof, coupled with occasional deployments of Luke Shaw in a central role, has limited the France international's playing time.
