Totally agree with his fee and the initial rumors of 70M euro was fantasy...and that was before he firmly said no to a contract extension...and getting paid less than what United offered.

The interest from United many years ago, coupled with him being a huge Rio fan always weighed on his mind.

I still don't think all of these annual payments are done in one swoop, but the upfront/initially payments will help with any of their transfer pursuits.

Cheers to another local. I live near Shakespeare Pub in SD.
Nice. I watch United matches there semi-frequently. I’m up north in Del Mar.

The prospect of him and Maguire together :drool:

Nacho playing really bad against Glasgow Rangers. Florentino will have to reconsider his decision to sell Varane to Manchester Unired.

I told everyone this was happening a couple of weeks ago.
I kind of figured it was happening considering there was no denial from either party. Still I always have a hard time believing we ever get lucky with transfers these last few years. I just need Goretska next and I will fully believe in this Ole administration.

Say's he prefers the move but if both clubs don't agree a fee then he'll sign a new contract IF a better offer comes from Madrid. Madrid would have made a better offer if they really wanted him to stay.
So that's why Florentino has to reconsider Varane's case.

Such a short term signing. We should be finding the next Varane.
There’s nothing wrong with short term signings if it brings us trophies… (RVP) we will still get a good few years out of him and then we can think about signing a longer term CB

Surely that was just Marca and Madrid trying to save face a bit? Smacks of "We didn't want him anyway"

Giving a more appealing offer.

He's coming to us to get paid. And the top European clubs will not get him because nobody will pay the wages we will and Real didnt want to pay him the money because they aren't desperate to keep him.

Otherwise It hardly makes sense to leave a established Champions league contender to join a Europa League level team with all due respect unless it's financially motivated
