Real Madrid will sell Raphael Varane this summer if he does not renew his contract. A few weeks back David Alaba looked signed and Sergio Ramos looked on his way out the door. He's been just as unflappable ever since and at the age of almost 28 he ought to be a future captain of Real Madrid with his best years still ahead of him. Sir Alex Ferguson may well have ended up signing Varane had Zidane not succeeded in persuading him to join Madrid. The former France Under-19 team-mate of Paul Pogba has never regretted the way things turned out because he has won 18 trophies at Real Madrid.
