Although it seemed that there were still a few details to be finalised in the negotiations, the signing of Raphael Varane by Manchester United is now practically a done deal.
The latest reports indicated that the Frenchman would become a Red Devils player at the end of this week, but talks with Real Madrid have accelerated and the transfer is closer to conclusion.
According to 'Sky Sport' on Monday 26th July, the agreement between the clubs is now complete and the France international centre-back will head to Old Trafford for a fee of 55 million euros.
In this sense, the information of the aforementioned media outlet indicates that Varane, still a player of the 13 times Champions League winners, would pass the medical examination prior to the signing on Wednesday 28th.
Similarly, Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist specialising in transfer market news, assured that the agreement is "a matter of hours or days", so all sources agree that Varane is living his last moments as a Real Madrid player.
Therefore, if nothing goes wrong and the medical tests do not throw up an unexpected surprise, Varane will become Manchester United's new player and put an end to a glorious spell at the Santiago Bernabeu in which he won numerous titles since his arrival at Spanish side in the 2011-12 season.
