According to the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/raphael-varane-saudi-ronaldo-transfer-32049969" target="_blank">Daily Star</a>, the Frenchman has become "disillusioned" with the Manchester club and will move on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/raphael-varane-man-utd-opt-against-extending-defender-contract-free-negotiate-summer-exit-january/bltbc6dc56d865c8be3" target="_blank">when his contract expires in the summer</a>. Saudi outfit Al-Nassr want to be front of the queue when Varane inevitably leaves, and are thought to be willing to offer the defender a staggering £50 million ($62.7m)-per year deal to tempt him to the Middle East.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Should Varane elect to make the switch, he will be reunited with Ronaldo once again. The pair were team-mates at Real Madrid for five years and won a staggering four Champions League titles together, before they linked back up at United for Ronaldo's second stint at Old Trafford. The Portuguese then left in late 2022 following his public denigration of the Red Devils. He has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-cristiano-ronaldo-39th-birthday-celebrated-unique-style-saudi-pro-league-al-nassr/bltd277155844ff2347" target="_blank">since settled in well in the Gulf state</a>, prompting a host of fellow Premier League stars to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/saudi-pro-league-team-2023-24-season-so-far-cristiano-ronaldo-aleksandar-mitrovic/blt501ac560854777be" target="_blank">make the mega-money switch.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Varane wouldn't just be linking up with Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. Former club rivals Sadio Mane <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-lionel-messi-al-nassr-defender-aymeric-laporte-scores-from-inside-his-own-half-against-inter-miami/blt4988d4e183565fd9" target="_blank">and Aymeric Laporte</a> ply their trade for the Riyadh-based team, while ex-United team-mate Alex Telles also moved last summer.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the report, the 30-year-old has grown frustrated over a lack of game time this season, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-raphael-varane-stance-losing-man-utd-place-erik-ten-hag-overlook-world-cup-winning-defender/bltada186fc4bc92892" target="_blank">frustrations towards Erik Ten Hag have already been well documented</a>. Varane could face an immediate spell on the pitch though, if fit, following the news of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/relief-man-utd-lisando-martinez-avoids-worst-case-scenario-knee-injury-update-return-date-west-ham/blt286de9f12b7d5193" target="_blank">Lisandro Martinez's recent knee injury</a>.
