Raphael Varane’s contract with Manchester United is set to expire in June 2024. The club had an option to extend his contract till 2025 but due to his high salary, they chose not to do so. Varane currently earns ₤340,000/Week at Manchester United. The club wants to renegotiate these terms before offering the French star a new contract. The club believes that ₤340,000/Week is too high a salary for Varane and will only offer the Frenchman a new contract if he accepts a reduced salary. Raphael Varane could end up leaving the English Premier League if an agreement is not reached upon soon.
