As per the latest reports, Chelsea top transfer target Raphael Varane is looking to move from Santiago Bernabeu this summer. The Real Madrid defender have failed to get regular starts under Carlo Ancelotti this season and often used as a back up when either of Pepe or Ramos got injured.
Jose Mourinho considers Varane as a long term replacement for aged centre back John Terry who is 34 currently. The French international has a contract till 2020 with Real madrid but is highly frustrated with his role at the club.
The 22-year old has been heavily linked with the Blues in the recent months withJose Mourinho rating the defender very high. The player is reportedly obbessed and would join any club that offers him regular playing time. Jose Mourinho is very confident that he could get the deal done this summer.
The player’s ability to win aerial duels will be an asset in Premier League as it has more physicality involved than in La Liga. The player managed to get more appearances this season due to the unavailability of Ramos and Pepe due to injuries.
The young defender has drawn interest from the likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester united earlier and Real Madrid want any bid above £22million to consider selling.
