Manchester United will listen to offers for Raphael Varane in January after deciding to cash in on the defender.
The Frenchman has lost his starting place at Old Trafford this season, despite injury to centre-back partner Lisandro Martinez.
Varane joined United from Real Madrid in a £40million deal in 2021, arriving as a World Cup winner and multiple Champions League winner.
However, he’s been overlooked in favour of Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof this term.
Bayern Munich are keen on signing Varane, though they’d prefer a loan deal rather than any permanent deal.

While Sky Sports Germany says the Germans feel a deal is unrealistic, they say United are willing to find a compromise as they’re open to letting Varane go.
Varane is one of United’s highest earners on around £250,000-a-week.
The club are keen to reduce their wage bill, and will let Jadon Sancho go in January.
United have shown interest in Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo, though Tottenham are also in the market for the Frenchman.
