Man Utd's Varane decision on a possible move to Saudi Arabia

This season Raphael Varane has not been a regular in Erik ten Hag's plans, the player is not considered an untouchable as in previous years and has struggled to get enough game time to show his level.

Rumours of his departure have been growing in recent months and among his possible destinations has been one in particular, the Saudi Pro League, where he could be reunited with a former Real Madrid teammate, Karim Benzema.

David Alaba's recent ACL injury at Real Madrid has brought the French centre-back closer to his former club as a replacement for the player who will be out of action for a lengthy period.

According to reports from French media outlet L'Equipe, the French international player's entourage have claimed that the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia "is not a subject".

Varane has a strong bond with the "Merengues", where he still has great friends and has previously stated that he would finish his career at Real Madrid, Manchester United or Lens where he started his career. Despite this, it is believed that the player would not change clubs mid-season.
