According to our exclusive information, the PSG has started discussions with representatives of Raphaël Varane with a view to a future arrival.
The PSG is looking for a new boss in defense. After locking out the future of Marquinhos, new leader of the Parisian project, Leonardo wishes to add a new taulier by his side and take over from Thiago Silva. After imagining a change this summer, Leonardo has changed his tune and is turning to the option of an extensionO Monstro. But the Brazilian sports director did not put aside his desire to build a defense of the future for Paris. By extending Thiago Silva, he’s just giving himself a break. And at the same time, he is preparing a bigger blow for 2021…
Discussions with Varane
According to our information, the PSG target Raphael Varane, currently at Real Madrid. Discussions already took place in early summer 2019 with those around him. The two parties were able to exchange views on their reciprocal situations and Paris was thus able to transmit its intentions to the Varane clan, who were attentive. The world champion, whose contract runs until 2022, has been wearing the merengue tunic since 2011! An eternity for the 27-year-old player, in full reflection on his future. Without the return of Zinedine Zidane, the French would probably not have stayed at Real Madrid, he who had very big requests in the summer of 2018 and 2019. If the question of his future arises clearly in the Casa blanca, the strategy of PSG is this: make sure that Varane does not extend to be able to conduct an offensive in the summer of 2021. Initiated by PSG, the file was taken over by Leonardo since returning to business. Since the discussions in summer 2019, the two parties have maintained contact and Paris will be kept informed of the various actions concerning the player for the France team.
If the PSG is hopeful of being able to undertake a solid offensive to the Real Madrid to recover it, he also knows that it remains conditioned by the non-extension of the contract Raphael Varane. If the Frenchman were to take another course, Paris would then turn to other tracks. For many months, Leonardo is trying to move forward on the case Kalidou Koulibaly (Naples) but the Senegalese is reluctant to join Paris. Samuel Umtiti ((FC Barcelona), Dayot Upamecano (Leipzig) or Milan Skriniar (Inter Milan) are also hunted.
