Real Madrid no longer believes in Varana

 While rumours of heavy offensive reinforcements have been on the rise for several months at Real Madrid, next summer could also mark a significant shift in the defensive sector. The leaders of the White House would seek a successor to Raphaël Varane....

At just 25 years old, Raphaël Varane started his eighth season at Real Madrid, the fifth as an almost indisputable starter. Performance is at the very least noticeable in a club that is constantly in the spotlight, where each performance is scrutinized and scrutinized, and where excellence must be continuous. When he was recruited at a very young age from Racing Club de Lens, under the nose and beard of Paris Saint-Germain, the central defender had a huge future ahead of him. Soon, the local press was amazed by "Monsieur Propre", the man who always defended himself standing upright and without making any mistakes.

But the years have passed, and Raphaël Varane may not have confirmed all the expectations placed in him. So much so that, according to El Pais' information, in addition to the quest for new offensive Galactics next summer (Eden Hazard, Kylian Mbappé, Neymar, Paulo Dybala,...), the Merengues would like to bring in a major central defender. Internally, we would have realized a little late how essential Pepe was to the team's balance. The Portuguese veteran's association with Sergio Ramos until 2017 was a marvel, which the new duo of the 32-year-old Spaniard and the Frenchman did not bring.
Marquinhos, the successor?

The 2018 World Champion is accused of regular concentration jumps, which could well be applied to Madrid's number 4. Except that Sergio Ramos is the captain of Real Madrid, and a real monument that must also be preserved, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo's eventful departure. Moreover, at almost 26 years of age and with a contract running until June 2022, Raphaël Varane represents a significant market value for the residents of Santiago-Bernabéu. Next summer, the former Sang et Or, who would suffer from a lack of motivation after his world title with Les Bleus, his four C1s and as many editions of the Mondial des clubs, could therefore be pushed towards the exit.

This hypothesis could allow the person concerned to relaunch himself, to set new challenges in different colours, and there would be no shortage of contenders for this central defender, who is already very experienced despite his young age. In return, the White House is said to have targeted several profiles likely to support Sergio Ramos in his role as a hinge. At the top of the list would appear a Brazilian from the French league, regularly announced on the shelves of FC Barcelona in recent years. Will Marquinhos, linked to Paris Saint-Germain until 2022, be Varane's successor and the one who will bring new defensive stability to the great Real Madrid?
