Transfer News: Thomas Tuchel instructs Chelsea to get Raphael Varane

According to transfer news from Mirror, Thomas Tuchel has instructed Chelsea to sign Raphael Varane. The Blues have become the latest club to register their interest in the Real Madrid star. Rivals Manchester United are also said to be in the running for him.

Varane has been a stalwart at the back for Real Madrid for almost a decade now and has won loads of trophies during his time at the club. However, the Frenchman is entering the final year of his contract with Los Blancos and wants a new challenge in his career.

The Blues have shown massive improvement in defence since Thomas Tuchel took over the reins. However, Chelsea are looking at defensive options, with some players like Silva and Azpilicueta at the wrong end of their careers. Varane is among the names being considered by the Blues and Tuchel. Adding a new defender became of priority with Tuchel switching to a back three.

Thomas Tuchel is said to have specifically asked the officials at the club to sign the Real Madrid centre-back. At 27 years of age, Varane fits the category of a prime world-class defender. He is not only young for a centre-back but also comes with an elite winning mentality.
