Bayern Munich Monitoring Varane's Situation

There are reports that Bayern Munich is keeping a close eye on Raphael Varane's situation at Manchester United. The German champions have reportedly discussed the possibility of signing the centre-back and will be closely observing him in the coming weeks.

Wages Seen as Major Obstacle

One major obstacle in a potential move for Varane is his wages. The Frenchman is currently earning around £340,000 per week at Manchester United, making him one of the highest-paid players at the club. This could pose a challenge for Bayern Munich if they decide to pursue the transfer.

Valued at £17.5m-£26m

According to Sky Sports' Florian Plettenburg, Varane is valued at around 20m to 30m euros, which is approximately £17.5m-£26m. However, Plettenburg also suggests that a loan move is not an option at this stage.

Varane's Exclusion from Starting Team Mystifies Rio Ferdinand

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has expressed his confusion over Varane's recent exclusion from the starting lineup. Ferdinand believes that Varane, who has won five Champions League medals in his career, must be puzzled by his current situation at the club.
