Real Madrid are prepared to sell French defender Raphael Varane to Manchester United during this summer's transfer window, according to a report.

Real Madrid have reportedly accepted that Raphael Varane wants to leave this summer, with the Spanish giants now giving the green light for the defender to hold talks with Manchester United.

Man United are believed to have identified the France international as their leading centre-back target during this summer's transfer window.

A recent report claimed that Los Blancos were planning to make it difficult for the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side to sign the 28-year-old ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

However, according to Marca, the La Liga giants have now given their approval for the World Cup winner's agent to enter into talks with Man United over a move to Old Trafford.

The report claims that Real Madrid have offered Varane - out of contract next June - the chance to sign a fresh deal, but he has made it clear that he wants to seek pastures new.

The La Liga outfit are said to be willing to accept an offer in the region of £43m, which is not expected to be an issue for Man United, despite the club already agreeing to pay over £70m for Jadon Sancho.

Solskjaer's team are thought to be preparing to sign two new centre-backs during this summer's transfer window, with Villarreal's Pau Torres seen as a target as part of a potential swap deal with Eric Bailly.
