The Manchester United center-back Raphaël Varane is currently in the news on his Saudi Arabia transfer links. While the latest news is in favor of the English Premier League club, Varane has just sent a strong and cryptic message on social media regarding the transfer rumors.
The European summer transfer window is now approaching its end. Saudi Arabia, the West Asian country, is now emerging as a surprise soccer giant as its soccer clubs are strongly bidding for the top world players.
Since joining the Portuguese soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo in early 2023, Saudi soccer has been in the revolution period. In the ongoing summer transfer window, many other big names have signed in the Saudi Pro League clubs, like Karim Benzema, Neymar, N’Golo Kanté, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mané, Jordan Henderson, Édouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, etc.
Saudi clubs also approached French and Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé with a record-breaking deal, but it was rejected.
According to recent rumors, Saudi clubs were also busy signing the French World Cup-winning center-back Raphaël Varane. Al-Ittihad was one of the strong names targeting Varane.

On Wednesday (August 23), Varane posted a picture on his official Instagram handle that sent a strong message about the ongoing transfer rumors. He posted an image of him kissing his Red Devils shirt. It was clicked during their PL 2023/24 season opener against Wolves, where Varane scored the match-winning goal at home.
Earlier, the famous Italian soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano also confirmed Varane’s no transfer interest this summer.
Raphaël Varane has formed a formidable duo with Lisandro Martinez at the back
After successfully spending one decade for the Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid, Raphaël Varane signed for the Premier League club in 2021 summer. Since then, the French center-back has become one of the crucial players for the Red Devils. His present contract with the Premier League club will expire at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Since the Argentine center-back Lisandro Martinez’s arrival at Old Trafford in 2022 summer, we have experienced a strong defensive partnership between Varane and Martinez. This partnership has been praised by many. Many experts believe that the duo is important for Manchester United in the 2023/24 season as the Premier League club is desperate to find their old favorite status soon under Erik ten Hag’s management.
The Red Devils fans are demanding a better and stronger season from the most successful Premier League club. The fans are now in big relief and excited to see the Varane-Martinez continuous partnership this season.
