Why do you want to leave Man united?? Raphael Varane finally reveals shocking reasons why He wants to dump Man united for Bayern Munich
Raphael Varane is unlikely to leave Manchester United for Bayern Munich in the January transfer window due to his lofty salary, according to reports. And the French defender’s previous comments suggest a switch to Germany isn’t in his plans despite losing his place in Erik ten Hag’s team.
Sky Germany report that Bayern are internally discussing a pursuit of Varane after being informed that a January departure is possible.
United are said to want at least £17m for his signature, but a switch to Bavaria remains unrealistic due to his current salary worth around £350,000 a week.
However, Varane has claimed as recently as this year that he only sees himself leaving Old Trafford to retire at two clubs, neither of which are Bayern.
In March, the out-of-favour No 19 confirmed that he plans to retire at one of the three clubs he’s played for during his illustrious career – Lens, Real Madrid or United.
Varane told GQ France: “I will finish my career either in Madrid, or in Manchester, or in Lens. I will not move to another club [other than those].
“But Madrid seems complicated to me. Players don’t usually go back there. The most likely outcome today is that I will finish [my club career] in either Manchester or Lens.”
Maguire will likely start United’s Premier League trip to Everton on Sunday alongside Victor Lindelof. Luke Shaw’s imminent return to fitness will offer Ten Hag another option.
However, Varane won’t be happy with his current status, which could spark a change of heart from his comments eight months ago.
