Manchester United To complete the signing of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid.
United have agreed personal terms with Varane who is currently at 28, and are understood to almost reached an agreement on the transfer with Real Madrid.
Varane has already made arrangements to travel to Manchester in anticipation of a move to United even though he trained with Madrid again on Monday.
United held 'positive discussions' in the latest round of negotiations and the deal is now believed to be all but done. Varane may have to quarantine before he is able to start training with United.
The France international is also believed to have studied United's defending from last season, when they conceded 18 goals from set-pieces.
United have been working on a £50million deal for Varane for upwards of a month, having expressed their firm interest in the France international midway through last season.
Despite his contract being up next summer, Varane has returned to training this week as expected and did not put any pressure on the club to force a move.
Real Madrid are keen to cash in, rather than allow him to leave for free, and now face a defence without the Frenchman or his teammate Sergio Ramos next season
