Premier League leaders Chelsea are looking to make a move for Raphael Varane, who surely believes that he has no future at the Bernabeu with a limited number of chances being offered to him to showcase his talents. Portuguese center-back Pepe is all set to sign a new deal at Real Madrid, which could further hurt Varane’s chances of getting first-team action and could result in a possible move away from Spain.
On the other hand, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho signed the Frenchman for the La Liga outfit, during his spell in Madrid. The Portuguese manager himself had labelled him as the best young defender in Europe and wants to bring him to Stamford Bridge since his return there. Mourinho considers him as a future replacement for current skipper John Terry and would want to add him to the Blues squad as quickly as possible with other big clubs looking to sign him as well. Varane would cost the west London side around £22m and would be a great addition for the future.
