Man United reportedly look set to land the signing of Real Madrid defender and long-term transfer target, Raphael Varane.

Varane has just one year left on his current deal at Santiago Bernabeu, with reports suggesting he is now open to a move to Old Trafford this summer.

According to Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are not far off from agreeing a deal with the France international.

It is believed Varane's valuation could be the stumbling block over an agreement, with ABC claiming United and Real are still haggling over a price for the Frenchman.

Meanwhile, Los Blancos, who recently lost Sergio Ramos on a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain are understood to be ready to cash in on the 28-year-old but are demanding a fee of €50million while Unite are offering €45m.

The development surrounding Varane's transfer comes only days after United wrapped up a deal for Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.

Man United seem to be interested in Di Lorenzo

Legit.ng earlier reported that Italian defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo seems to have emerged as a summer transfer target for Manchester United this summer.

So far in the 2020 EURO tournament, Giovanni Di Lorenzo has been impressive for Italy as they prepare to face England in the final of the competition.

And Di Lorenzo will almost certainly line up for Italy against England at Wembley on Sunday in what would be his fifth start of the tournament.
