Real Madrid are reportedly planning to strengthen their defense, and one of the most talked-about names is none other than Raphaël Varane – the former centre-back who spent a decade with Los Blancos.
According to multiple sources, the club’s board is weighing up the possibility of bringing Varane back to the Bernabéu after the French defender officially left Manchester United this summer. His return could be a crucial solution, especially as Carlo Ancelotti’s squad has been hit with several defensive injuries, particularly at centre-back.
Varane, 31, previously played for Real Madrid from 2011 to 2021, winning four UEFA Champions League titles, three La Liga trophies, and many other major honors. He is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the club’s history.
If this deal materializes, it would be a rare occasion where Real Madrid welcome back a former legend after their departure. Fans are eagerly waiting to see whether Varane will once again wear the famous white shirt and continue writing new chapters at the Bernabéu.
👉 For now, this remains at the discussion stage, with no official announcement yet from Real Madrid.
