Manchester United to 'consider' Raphael Varane offers and more transfer rumours

Manchester United will 'consider' offers for centre-back Raphael Varane ahead of the January transfer window.

That is according to a report by CaughtOffside, who claim United will 'consider the right offers' for the Frenchman. He is being linked with a high-profile move to the Saudi Pro League.

It is reported that the defender is 'attracting interest' from some Saudi clubs, with Al Ahli, Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Al Ittihad all reportedly monitoring the Frenchman. The aforementioned quartet have signed a series of big-name players over the past 12 months or so.

Varane, who joined United from Real Madrid in August 2021, has featured in just 10 of United's opening 16 matches this season, frequently being sidelined through either illness or injury. He has not started any of the Reds' last three matches, last appearing as a starter against FC Copenhagen over a fortnight ago.

Injuries have dictated much of Varane's time at Old Trafford, restricting him to 73 appearances in just over two years. When fully fit and at the peak of his powers, he is still the club's best defender.

Turning 31 in April, Varane could be considered as being past his best, meaning United could be wise to entertain the idea of selling him in the not-too-distant future. The former Madrid ace is under contract at Old Trafford until June 2025.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan have 'set' an asking price of €50million (£43m) for right-back Denzel Dumfries. That is according to a report by Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited by Calciomercato.
