The French defender is not pleased with the wage that Real Madrid are offering him

Madrid came with a number of offers before but the club’s financial situation due to the pandemic raised no questions to increase the wages of the French defender. According to FootMercato, Varane was unhappy because the club’s president chose to negotiate with players like Luka Modric, Lucas Vazquez, Sergio Ramos over him. Varane rejected a two-year contract extension deal with Real, which suggests that the 28 year old is surely leaving this summer.

According to Mario Torrejon, a reliable journalist working for Cadena SER and Real Madrid live, the French centre-back will leave Madrid with a year left on his contract with the club. Negotiations have also not reached anywhere between the two parties, and it now looks like Madrid will receive a transfer fee for him this very summer.
