Blues manager Jose Mourinho famously described Varane as ‘the best young defender in the world’ during his time in charge of Real – and he could now have the chance to bring the former Lens man to the Premier League.
Real are set to secure lucrative new contracts with Sergio Ramos and Pepe, first choice central defensive duo at the Bernabeu, which could block Varane’s path to the first team on a regular basis.
