According to sources, Manchester United may have been offered the ideal opportunity to capitalize on Real Madrid's delicate situation with Raphael Varane.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to have the World Cup winner high on his transfer wishlist, but many thought the offer was too good to be true.
Varane has spent the bulk of his career at Real Madrid and is a sure-fire starter for Zinedine Zidane.
On paper, there are no compelling reasons for the young center-back to leave, but it is understood he is dissatisfied with the club's efforts to keep him.
Madrid's financial woes have been well known, and it's something United could exploit even though they don't go all-in for Varane.
Because of the several refused contracts and the reasonable transfer fee, the Red Devils will be able to sign Varane this summer.
However, there are many considerations at play with such a move, and people have been burnt in the past by Madrid and their seemingly disappointed stars, who end up signing new contracts and staying put instead.
One reason it may not succeed for Manchester United is if they spend the rest of their money elsewhere, such as on Jadon Sancho, who has also been a long-term goal.
