All the top journos have started to report that Varane has agreed to personal terms with us on a contract through to 2026, clubs negotiating a fee. Madrid wanted 50 at the start of the window and we’re supposedly starting at 40m. I can see this going through at 45m plus add ons. I think it’s going to happen even though I was convinced it was just a ploy for Madrid to succumb to his contract demands. They are pretty broke.
Varane and Maguire compliment each other perfectly. Varane has insane recovery pace whilst also being strong in the air and good on the ball, Maguire is a vocal leader who is good with his distribution and great in the air.
Hopefully a midfield signing to come. It’ll probably be a bargain signing type.
