It is very likely that Man United will get Varane soon, although Real Madrid initially asked for £60 for Varane but it looks like they will accept an offer of £50 from Man United. But if Real Madrid persists with the price of £60 I think Man United will accept it because Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was very insistent to get Varane (maybe by signing Varane, Pogba will prefer to stay at Manchester United).
Manchester United seems to have a good transfer season and they likely want to believe in Cavani as their main striker in the upcoming season. I don't see signals that they want to buy another striker. They might be fine with Cavani in one more season but if Cavani will decide to leave and reject to sign another contract, Manchester United will be in trouble with striker position.Best strikers will mostly in place after this transfer season. If Haaland signs with Chelsea, it will be bad for Manchester United. There will be no young and talented striker left on the market.
They will have to choose some old strikers as Ronaldo or Lewandowski, Benzema.
Varane would be a major signing for United. Still, even with him and Sancho, I feel they would be thin in a couple of positions (striker, midfielder, right back).
I think Wan Bissaka is performing great for Manchester United at right back position. I think wingbacks are performing for United whether it be on left hand side which is Shaw or right hand which is Bissaka. I think it is central defenders who needs to alert enough. Maguire and Lindelof needs to take a bit of responsibility as central defenders. Mid for United is good with Fernandes and the CDM's. Only thing is they need a striker which I agree with you. Cavani is not a long term solution and also Rashford has been bit out of form for quite some time.
Most important position need by Manchester United is defender, I think they faced many problem last season with Harry Maguire and Victor Jörgen Nilsson Lindelöf because many time make mistake and give penalty kick for other team. Now I heard they look close with Real madrid defender Raphaël Varane but still not any deal price between Manchester United and Real Madrid, but Varane have deal personality about salary with Manchester United.

I have to say that as a Liverpool fan, I'm a bit worried.
Of course you will be worried because Liverpool did not play as expected last season even though in the end managed to qualify for the Champions League. If Liverpool don't bring in some other players both in attack and defense, then I think they will still have a hard time competing with other team like Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City. That's true, I agree with you. But so far I haven't seen any news involving Liverpool that recent new signings other than Youri Tielemans and Donyell Male... they're walking slowly in the transfer market.
Liverpool needs to fill the gap left by the departure of Wijnaldum wisely and are willing to pay up to 70 million euros for those who fill this vacancy, I just hope that Konaté isn't the only weight gainer, otherwise, we can forget about the bets on Liverpool for more a season.

I have to say that as a Liverpool fan, I'm a bit worried. United signed Sancho and will probably sign Varane, City going for both Kane and Grealish and Chelsea pushing hard for Haaland. We got Konate, yes - but I am not even sure if he'll be our starter - my guess is that he probably won't. We need to sign some quality players as well if we want to compete again. Getting VVD back won't be enough.

You're right about worrying. Because Liverpool are becoming more disadvantageous day by day as their biggest competitors are going for top players and strengthening their squad. I guess Liverpool will do the same some time later in this transfer window. For example, I believe that they really need a top striker. They can't make do with Firmino. He is a decent CF of course but not enough for a big team like Liverpool. While Chelsea and Manchester City are getting close to sign Haaland and Kane, Liverpool should do something also.

Even without the arrival of new players, Liverpool front line in my opinion is quite sharp right now, we can see how dangerous Salah and Mane are when they enter the opponent defense, maybe what is a bit of an obstacle for Liverpool attack line now is Firmino who last season was not very scored a lot of goals but still he is one of the players that Liverpool really deserves to be defended at this time.I have to say that as a Liverpool fan, I'm a bit worried.

With the arrival Konate, of course it will further strengthen Liverpool defense next season, especially Konate who is tall and has a sturdy posture and is very reliable in playing the ball from behind would certainly be the perfect duet for Van Dijk.

I’m personally hoping he comes to Manchester United, but I’m also vary that this saga doesn’t end like Ramos one, remember when he fooled all by unofficially claiming he was Manutd bound and then ended up signing a lucrative contract at Real Madrid. Furthermore this transfer saga should end soon now, because Manchester United need a new midfielder and probably a striker or a right back too hence they should focus on getting them Post this deal.
Good players are dismantled quickly, and the solution to the issue of the defender is definitely not worth delaying, because finding really good defenders is much harder than solving the issue with the attack line. Personally, I don't think Varan is the best of the best, it's just a very good defender, but I see that Manchester is picking up strong players and not chasing the TOP.

According to Transfermarkt, there is a 68% probability for Varane to be signed by Manchester Utd. Real Madrid should reach an agreement with them if they are not able to extend his contract. Otherwise, he's going to be free agent in one year and Real Madrid will be in a big loss. But it looks like Varane really wants to go to Manchester Utd now so I believe this deal will be done soon.
I believe that there is a good chance Varane will leave Real madrid either this year or next year that is for sure there is zero doubt in my mind, there is no turning after this point, however I also think that there is a chance we could end up seeing Real Madrid keeping him for one year and just sending him for free, why do that? Because they may believe that they could change his decision and take the risk, maybe they will convince him to sign another contract? I doubt that, but they may try it out.
And it's belleived that personal terms have been reached so .
It is will only be a matter of the transfer fee that Real Madrid will be accepting to let him go, they already lost Ramos and now they are not going to let him off easily so if they do not like the offer they are not going to accept it.

Crystal Palace agree deal to sign Chelsea defender, Marc Guehi. The 21 years old player was sent on a loan transfer to swansea in August 2020, and he played in Swansea last season. He however attracted the attention of Crystal Palace with his great performance at swansea. He will be opportuned to play in the premier league next season.
Good business by Crystal palace.I think most of the teams are beginning to start their transfer business fully now that the Euro2020 is over,and Crystal is one of them. They had a little problem at defence last season and have to fix it with this signing,who impressed at Swansea last season.Marc Guehi is a very young talented defender who need playing time to develop into one of the best defenders in England.Good business from Crystal.Crystal Palace agree deal to sign Chelsea defender, Marc Guehi.

Real Madrid should buy at least one experienced defender this season. Benzema and Modrich are for striker and midfield. Both are very experienced players. Ramos' replacement in defense is very urgently needed by Real Madrid. A young and talented defender should be included in the Real Madrid team.
I think Real Madrid have enough defenders at the moment to replace Ramos. See the full Madrid squad here. In football there may be a habit that we often see, which is when the best player leaves, the team has to find a 10/10 substitute. I don't know if it should be, but a lot of clubs have done it. Ramos has left and he has become a living legend for Madrid, while many other defenders are still available. Does Madrid need to find a replacement?By the way, the EPL will be back in a month. I hope all the match held for the 2021/2022 season are attended by supporters of each team like at EURO 2020 yesterday. This gives more passion for football and the playing team will get direct support again from the fans, will the stadium be refilled for the 2021/2022 EPL season?

60m GBP for a defender with just one year left in his contract? What a crazy transfer market still. I mean for a good striker, sure... But for a defender? I thought everything would cool down after covid. Player agents must be making bank these days. Lol.
Is he even highly rated at Real?
Maybe Manchester Utd really desperately need a defender like him, I don't know. Otherwise, it would be much more logical for them to wait for one more year to be able to sign him for free.
And it looks like Manchester Utd have agreed personal terms with Varane already. It's a matter of time that the transfer becomes official.

Maybe Varane's slick form this season has made his price very high. He was able to play well with Ramos. I think this is also a way of preventing him from leaving, because we know Ramos is gone. If he leaves Madrid will look fragile defensively.
But why are United hunting for defenders? Don't they have a lot of centre-backs?

Pau Torres will be a better replacement for Sergio Ramos.
He has got experience in La Liga as well is a Spanish player.
