Manchester United not in talks for Real Madrid star

Manchester United have been linked with quite a few Real Madrid players over the past few months.

First it was Sergio Ramos, who has since joined Paris Saint-Germain. Of course, the links with Raphael Varane have been the strongest. And recently, Vinicius Junior has been linked with an Old Trafford switch as well.

Varane, who has only one year left on his current Real Madrid deal, could be a real possibility this summer. There is a feeling that a move to the Theatre of Dreams might be on the cards for the French World Cup winner. But the same cannot be said about Vinicius Junior.

Recent rumours had suggested that the Red Devils had the chance to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid this summer. But as tweeted out by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish giants are not considering letting the 21-year-old leave and there are no talks with Manchester United or any other club:

Manchester United not in talks to sign Vinicius Junior

It looks like the Red Devils are not in contention to sign Vinicius Junior this summer. And while the Brazilian international could have proved to be a good signing for the club, he does not feel like a priority signing right now. At this point of time, it does look like they are focussed on getting a deal for Varane over the line.

It is not hard to see why the club might want to sign the Frenchman. He is one of the best defenders in the world, and his incredible combination of world-class ability and experience could make him the perfect partner for Harry Maguire in the heart of the defence.

Recent rumours have suggested that personal terms won’t be an issue when it comes to signing Varane and it could come down to the two clubs reaching an agreement over a transfer.
