Raphaël Varane returning to RC Lens? Nothing but pure fantasy…
Questioned on the subject at a press conference, Franck Haise described the question as “nice debate, but it’s not a current debate”. Not that the RC Lens coach would not appreciate having the services of Raphaël Varane in his collectivebut the defender’s return to his training club from Manchester United, where he was announced to be leaving, is pure fantasy. “I read that it was complicated for Bayern Munich to pay his salary. So if it’s complicated for Bayern…” he particularly had fun on the subject.
Franck Haise laughs at the question about Varane’s return to RC Lens
If only there was only the salary to pay for. It is difficult to imagine the Mancuniens releasing their player from his contract, after having paid 40 million euros to recruit him from Real Madrid, in 2021. Even if it is certain that the player, now aged 30 years is no longer worth as much on the transfer market; Transfermarkt values it at 35 million euros, the Football Observatory at more than 20 million euros and essentially the same thing on the Football Benchmark side.
Compensation as salary, the northern defender is much too expensive
This being the equivalence of his season and a half that remains on his contract, until the expiry of June 30, 2025. As for the salary, it crushes all possible standards of RC Lens. At more or less 20 million euros gross per season, depending on the rate of the pound sterling against the euro, he is none other than the fifth highest paid player in the very rich English Premier League and the second highest overall. from Manchester United, behind another player also announced leaving this winter. To see him return home, it would therefore be necessary for both Raphaël Varane and RC Lens to jointly make very big efforts. As the saying goes, “no one is held to the impossible”…
