World and Vietnam Newspaper updates information on MU player transfers that took place in the past hours.

Real Madrid want to bring Raphael Varane back

Spanish media reported that Real Madrid are interested in bringing Raphael Varane back to the Bernabeu when the transfer market opens from January 1, 2024.

Real Madrid lost David Alaba until the end of the season, and before that, Eder Militao also had long-term treatment, so they were forced to add a new central defender.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti wants to buy quality young players to invest in the long-term future. However, the plan of the Spanish Royal Club is to save as much as possible on fees.

Therefore, Real Madrid intends to sign Varane, who has had an uncomfortable time at MU (contract until June 2024, with an option to extend for another 12 months).

TodoFichajes revealed that there are no problems between Real Madrid and Varane regarding contracts or salaries.

The capital Madrid team needs to come up with the best solution to convince MU, when Old Trafford also received offers from Bayern Munich and Saudi Arabia for the French midfielder.

MU plans to recruit Ronald Araujo from Barca

Looking ahead to the 2024 summer transfer market, with billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe taking control of the sporting side, MU is ambitious to recruit Ronald Araujo.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, via INEOS Sport, wants to build a new squad with Araujo playing a defensive leadership role.

According to AS , Araujo turned down Bayern Munich a few weeks ago. The Uruguayan centre-back feels proud to be contacted by the Bundesliga champions but his dream is the Premier League.

Araujo has a contract with Barcelona until 2026, with a salary of 7-8 million Euros. In recent times, his contract has been frequently reviewed by La Liga due to the financial problems of the Catalan club.

Araujo's contract has a €1bn release clause. To secure the services of the 24-year-old centre-back, United will likely have to break the transfer record for a defender by around €100m (£87m).

MU has a surprising decision about the future of Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe decides to transfer MU

The Old Trafford team is expected to have significant changes and attention from the top - the participation of British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the club, instead of the Glazer family holding full control as before.

According to the agreement, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will have full authority in football activities, including transfers, future of coaches, players...

The petrochemical billionaire is said to be unhappy with the way MU spends money in the transfer market and he will certainly make adjustments in the near future.

MU's current situation is making their fans impatient with more losses (13) than wins (11) after 26 matches played in all competitions.

The defensive crisis, mainly due to injuries, has meant that coach Erik ten Hag has not been able to have a stable quartet since the beginning of the season, leading to unexpected results.

With the long-term absence of Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane also continuously has physical problems and injuries, the remaining players are Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire taking turns in the two central defenders.

And according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, MU wants to reward the Swedish centre-back with a new contract in the context that the current deal will expire next summer, rumored to be about to leave.

“With Lindelof, 100% MU wants to keep him. The club wants Lindelof to become part of the current and future plans. I am sure they will proceed with the extension as soon as possible.”

With Wan-Bissaka, who regained his position after the 2022 World Cup, having convinced coach Erik ten Hag, he is also expected to sign a new contract.

“A new deal for Wan-Bissaka is still being discussed by United as they want to offer him a long-term contract rather than just triggering the option.

United intend to do the same as they did with Diogo Dalot less than a year ago. Instead of activating the option, the club decided to offer him a longer contract. Talks are ongoing with Wan-Bissaka.”
