It's still difficult to determine what represents value in the current market and how much teams are willing to spend, but acquiring Raphael Varane for only €35 million would be an absolute steal.
He appears to be older because he has been around for so long, but he is still only 28 years old, so he is still in his prime years, and he has everything that you want in a top-class defender.
He's excellent at reading the game, calm, great on the ball, and experienced at the highest level, according to a report from Spanish outlet COPE, and Real Madrid are accepting that he's available.
He's out of contract in the summer of 2022, and it doesn't appear that Ancelotti's arrival will change that, which is why he'll be available for such a low fee.
The Mirror has linked him with a move to Manchester United, and you have to think he's exactly what they need right now, while also being the ideal partner for Harry Maguire, so the defense would suddenly go from a weakness to a strength.
It's a no-brainer for that price, as long as his wage demands aren't outrageous, and it's also been suggested that Sergio Ramos will leave on a free transfer, so it'll be a completely new-look Real Madrid defense next year.
