The Chelsea team is seen as the favorite to secure the services of Real Madrid's center back, Raphael Varane announced on Monday "Mundo Deportivo". It is known that Varane wants to transfer to Chelsea and already the team from London has overtaken Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of the 28-year-old.
Varane is expected to leave Real Madrid this summer after refusing to renew his contract, which expires next year, while Chelsea are willing to pay over €50 million in compensation for his transfer. Varane is liked by Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel who sees him as an important reinforcement for the defense department.
Varane this season has 38 appearances and two goals scored in all competitions for Real Madrid, a team he joined in 2011 from Lens.
