Saudi giants ready to offer £50m per year contract to key Man Utd star

Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr are prepared to hand a bumper contract worth £50 million per year to Manchester United defender Raphael Varane.

Varane has been a key player for the Red Devils in the past two-and-a-half years but he has also suffered plenty of injury setbacks.

As a result, the club have decided against extending his deal beyond the summer and he is expected to leave on a free transfer.

A number of European clubs are tracking him, but Daily Star claim that Al-Nassr are keen to reunite him with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo and Varane have played together at Real Madrid and United and the former wants to reunite with his close friend again.

Al-Nassr are ready to tempt Varane with a mega contract worth £50m per season. He is unlikely to receive anywhere close to that in Europe.

In fact, he may need to accept a huge pay-cut on his current €18m annual salary if he wishes to join another European side this summer.
