Chelsea: Is Antonio Conte Looking to Lure Real Madrid Star?

Manchester United could get a chance to sign Raphael Varane this summer with Real Madrid reportedly open to offers for the Frenchman.

Madrid have been hotly tipped to make a move for the Belgian global this summer and the newspaper suggests they will offer Chelsea Morata plus £35m in cash meaning the entire deal would be worth around £75m. But the 11-time European champions chose to exercise the buy-back option that they held on the 23-year-old, which will see him return to the Bernabéu for €30 million.

Real Madrid will still be looking to recoup a substantial chunk of the £60 million ($80 million) fee paid for him two years ago.

The Red Devils have inevitably been linked with a host of players in recent weeks following Jose Mourinho’s appointment as the club’s new manager.

Morata remains a target for Chelsea despite the £33m arrival of Michy Batshuayi from Marseille.

It is thought that Madrid only opted to re-sign Morata so that they could then sell him on to a Premier League club for a healthy profit.

The Daily Mail believes Norwich have made an approach to sign Scotland striker STEVEN FLETCHER when his Sunderland contract expires next week.

Manchester United is not done stacking up their team for next season.

The London club want to take advantage of Los Blancos’ interest in one of their own – Eden Hazard – to accommodate the transfer, with Roman Abramovich keen to close a deal that satisfies both parties.

Hazard endured a nightmare season in 2015-16 which saw his performances dip massively from his PFA player of the year performances the season before.
