At the end of his contract on June 30 with Manchester United, Raphaël Varane will not be extended, unless there is a huge surprise.
The story between Raphaël Varane and Manchester United is about to come to an end. Linked to the residents of Old Trafford until June 30, 2024, the former French international has still not extended his contract. And that shouldn’t happen. According to information from ESPN, the 30-year-old defender will leave the Red Devils free at the end of the season.
Unhappy with his defense, Erik ten Hag would like to regenerate this sector of play for next season. Thus, Victor Lindelöf and Harry Maguire could leave the club by the close of the winter transfer window in the event of an interesting offer. In addition, Raphaël Varane and Jonny Evans, both at the end of their contracts, should not be extended, barring an unexpected development.
A Frenchman to replace Varane?
To replace Raphaël Varane, names are already circulating. Jarrad Branthwaite, Matthijs de Ligt and Niçois Jean-Clair Todibo are announced in Manchester United’s sights. One thing is certain: the next summer transfer window promises to be eventful at Old Trafford. For his part, the French world champion will have to find a new challenge, he who has already ended his international career after the 2022 World Cup final lost by the France team against Argentina.
